Well - it depends on the book for me. A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon was read by me in one sitting and that was heading towards 400 pages. But that's an exception.

The complexity of the writing and how immersed I am in the plot will usually determine how fast I read.

Reading A Room with a View at the moment and it's academically interesting but I would struggle reading the whole thing in one sitting even though it's a much shorter book.

I used to be only one book at a time, but now I tend to have one eBook and one paperback going at a time. I seldom ditch a book although there have been occasions (Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell).

Regards
Caleb
