It depends really. My lowest, I think, is roughly an hour. Depending on how interesting the book is, I can also spend the entire night reading it. I can also sleep off after 10 minutes.

I used to have an hour long train ride to work so I would read about 2 hours a day, at least! Sadly the commute is gone and a very active toddler keeps me busy. But I would love to read more.

I average about 1 hour a day. Some days, I may only read a few minutes, but others, I can easily read a few hours straight.

how much time I spend on reading a book? Depends on the book such as genre and authors.

If its a Star Wars book then I can breeze through it in a day and half pretty much

Depending on what is going on I read about 6 to 8 hours per day. One perk of retirement is I can read all I want to after years of not having time to enjoy a good book.

It totally depends on the period of the year. During university semesters I have way too many books to read and to learn that I cant count in this way, unfortunately. In those month I try to finish at least one other book, wich I often read on public transport for 20 -30 minutes in total. Then there is the exam period, where my voluntary solitary confinement arrives for more then a month. During those days I read while I am having breakfast or having a break, which could mean 45 minutes to an hour. But neither these two timeframes are totally regular. Summertime is the best, because it can to whole days, but at least an hour a day.

During this time of pandemic, I make time to read at least 5 hours a day since I have so many things to do in our house. I don't do it for 5 hours consecutive though. 😊

how much time I spend reading everyday really depends on my schedule for that day, if I am extremely free, I can spend the whole day reading only breaking a couple times to eat and go to the restroom.

I make a point of reading everyday for a minimum of 30mins and a maximum of 2 hours. But the times can change based on the book I am reading.

It depends on the book, if it is sci-fi I might read the whole book in a day out of curiosity, other genres I might read a hour or 2 hours everyday if I am free on that day.
