I think about 350 of a mass market sized paperback.

I am pathetic compared to most readers when it comes to this. The most pages I ever read in one day was when I was on a road trip and was reading The Secret History for the first and second times. I probably had several 60-page days. And that was only because it was one of the best books I'd ever read and I was in perfect reading situations like sitting around a giant, central fireplace in an old lodge in Glacier National Park on a cold and rainy day or riding shotgun when it was my wife's turn to drive. Other than that, I am strictly a one-chapter-at-a-time reader. My wife, on the other hand, will devour 500 pages in two days. I don't know how you people do it.

Geez...don't your eyes get tired? I have astigmatism, so maybe that's why I have problems where other people seem to enjoy it.

I have to be really into the story to read 200 or more in a day.

I read about 370-400 pages of 'Infinite Jest' in a day. Never again.

Seeing this thread reminded me of a book I forgot to list in the "Critically acclaimed books you didn't like" thread. I think the most overrated book I have ever read was "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. Apparently, it is supposed to make you feel "hip" when you read it. It didn't. I read it in sixteen hours at the Port Authority bus terminal in New York City while waiting for a connection. Sixteen hours of complete boredom. I wish I had brought something by James Michener. I didn't count the pages but it was something like 200 if I remember right. I could not identify with any of the characters or even like them. Other than that, in point of style and form, it is an absolute disaster. As Truman Capote said of the book, "That's not writing. That's typing".

When I was 12 I read The Way of Kings (one of my all time favorites to this day) in the span of like three days. The book is something like 1300 pages. I also read A Game of Thrones (Perhaps my all time favorite book) when I was 13 and finished it in two days.

Maybe 200. Reading became associated with last-thing-before-sleep years ago. It's just the way I read, dark room, side table lamp... I don't read for marathoning.
