How long can you read in one sitting?

Sometimes it is 10 hours straight with few bathroom breaks. I keep snacks and coffee/tea near by.

When it is a book I want to take my time with it is usually an hour or two. I also like to finish chapters. I absolutely cannot stop until I finished a chapter.

Currently I can usually read for an hour or and hour in a half most of the time I will read several half hour intervals several times a day

I can honestly read for hours and hours even if its a sucky book because its like my brain is telling me I NEED TO FINISH THIS

I usually don't like to read for a super long time in the same position. I like to be up moving around, so I usually have to get up and do something else and then come back to my book. The times I'm running on the elliptical or riding in a car are the times when I read the longest.

I can read for hours at a time. I usually finish a book in a day or two. I don't like to wait for the end of the book. I automatically want to know what happens to the characters and in the story.

I can read for hours on end, but usually I try not to spend more than an hour or two at a clip because if I get caught up in it too much I easily lose track of time and spend the better part of my day curled up on the couch. Not an unpleasant scenario by any means, but then I'll lament about all the things I DIDN'T get done that day!

Honestly, during school I have read for an entire class period, picked up my things and then did the same thing in all my classes for the remainder of the day. So if you are counting one class period as a sitting, then during school an hour and a half. On weekends or during the summer, I can sit and read a book all day and that is one of my favorite ways to spend my time.

If it weren't for other things I have to do I could and would be reading most of the day, if not all day. When I was in middle school I would use all of my spare time to read. I like devouring books in one sitting, I find it's the best way for me to go most of the time.

I guess I won't be able to sit even for half an hour in the same position

A lot depends on what is going on in my life. I normally read around 2 hours a day, but do take breaks. I keep a book in the bathroom, one in my purse to read on the bus, Have a third beside my bed. Once I get to the second half of a book, I feel the need to stick with that one because I geet thoroughly engrossed. So that one will travel with me until it is done.

Hours upon hours. I usually only stop when my body gets physically uncomfortable for being in one place for too long haha.

Mostly it depends on the book, if the book is interesting I can read the book along the day with the respective brakes since I have many things to do besides reading, so I look for any time available to sit down and keep reading.

I can read for hours. Sometimes if books are really boring I make need to take breaks but I still love reading. I like to learn new things when I read. Sometimes when its a really good book, i could read for like 5 hours.
