You, and others, must be either fast to the extreme, or have much more time to spend reading than I do; I certainly haven't got 3-4 hours a day to spend reading, not even when including public transport  |
When I still went by train to work, I generally read about 2 hours a day. 1 hour on the train and 1 hour before falling asleep...
But it also depends on the book. Some books I can (and want to!) read fast and I might completely finish a book in 2 days (normal sized book, don't ask me for page count because I won't be able to give it). And some books, of the same size, will take me a month or more...
