yeah one day I was bored so just sat down and finished the fourth one in one book in one sitting.

Apart from HP, I think the most I've read in one day a few 'books' of Tolstoy's War & Peace in a day... so a few hundred pages at a guess

I think...I read the whole of Lord of the rings once in a day...from about 4pm till midnight...so that's 1000 pages or so.

Um - when I went on holidays I read a series of 11 books (The Wheel Of Time - Robert Jordan). I read one book each day and I'm pretty sure the shortest was around 600 and the longest about 1100 pages. The longest one probably took between 9 and 10 hours to read but I had a break for lunch! Another fun one was the 13 hour trip to QLD where I read the entire time without stopping - a series about Amish people (1400 pages all up?) I love reading... I generally don't take more than a day or two to read a book because I hate not finishing it in one sitting - it annoys me having it sitting there and not being read :)

I am so jealous of people who can read in the car (assuming you drove). I start to feel poorly. :(

Me too. I read for about 15 minutes and have to give up :(

And hey, Nicole, if you've read the rest of WoT have you read the prequel New Spring?
Yep - sure have. I grabbed them all from the library then I bought them all and I really feel sorry for you guys who can't read in the car. That would suck; I can't sleep in the car so when I'm stuck there for 12 hours I need something to do! If I run out of books I go to the crossword puzzle books :) but that usually doesn't happen, thankfully.
