Is It Possible to Read a 225 page book in one day?

[jenna1012]

I put off my summer reading. i have 2 days to read 2 books. i know it's my fault, but i didn't realize how close school was....both books are about 250 pages each...i would say about size 8 font....pretty small font...if i sat down all day and just read and really concentrated, i could finish right? advice?

 

i don't wanna sparknote it.

LOL. 225 pages is not much at all, especially if you are captivated by the story in the book. During my novel addiction days I could read a 600 page paperback in 10 hours.

 

Wait a minute...are the books novels or school study books? If they are study books then yes you can read 250 pages in one day but you will most probably not understand anything . Do you really have to finish before school starts?

it is possible but i usually can read a bit more then 100 only before wanting to give up. your putting alot of pressure on yourself, cuz it is no fun reading a whol book in one sitting. just sparknote one of them.

[definitely_maybe]

it is possible

[Aurian]

Yeah, i do it on a regular basis. So stop posting and get crackin

[Aleadragonhawk]

It depends. 225 pages of novel goes down easily. 225 pages of poetry, a bit harder. 225 pages of textbook, probably not.

Says you!

[JeckyllNHyde]

Says you!

 

haha no u are right, it can be fun but when you are just doing it for fun...

i used to love doing it.

but when i had to do it for school and was under pressure to finish it in 1 day it wasnt much fun. but only cuz i really felt the pressure cause i wa so late to start.

Yes it is.

 

Confine yourself to your room and get rid of all the distractions; believe me, you'll be amazed. I also found that reading using an audiobook helps a lot.

 

Please update us on the results.

I read NORMAN MAILERS the NAKED AND THE DEAD in one night, for those of you who know it, it is rather large. believe me, 250 pages in one night can be done. However, if the book sucks, then it will be very hard.

LOL i do it all the time. Actually i normally can read a 500 page book in a day. and that isn't an all day thing either. just a few hours or less. But that is a rarity these days.

When I'm into a book its about 70 - 100 pages an hour so yes it is very possible. Though it does depend on the size of the book, the size of the text, whether it's a novel or textbook. I'm really into fantasy so anything by Weise and hickman, R.A.Salvator or robert jordan just got devoured...

I read a 300+ page book for school in ONE day. It was a horrible book, but for some reason... I couldn't stop till I finished it.

 

It was atrocious, yet I could not put it down. Odd, huh?
