If you've spent a day reading 1/2 the book then it's a fair bet that it will take another day to finish it. Obviously the amount of time you can devote to reading will vary so this time won't be accurate but does it really matter? Do you really want to know how long it takes (or will take) to read a book?

Perhaps a small application could be written that could take the word count, your average reading speed and your age and then tell you whether it's a good idea to start War and Peace.
