How long can you read in one sitting?

I can read all day if I have time with only short pauses when I have to eat or visit my bathroom... If the book is really good, there's no going back.

It does really depend on the book, but generally if it's something I really like I can go 6 or 8 hours. Of course this is with breaks for sustenance and other requirements but generally I can spend most of a day on a good book.

I can read for hours, but I do get frequent headaches if I go for too long. I've spent rainy days off from work curled up and reading the whole day.

It depends on my day and schedule, but i at least get about an hour in before bed.

When i'm really into a book, or series, I'll read until I finish it. I've stayed up all night before to finish a series. Sometimes a book is just so good that I can't quit thinking about it and I have to finish it all so I know what happens.

I can read an entire book in one setting if not disturbed. I would need to take frequent breaks before I bought a Kindle, but since I can angle it any kind of way, let the reading continue!

I will read the entire day. If I have a book that keeps my attention I will sit on the couch for hours and not even realize it…that is how wrapped up I get in the books.

If I am absorbed in a book, until I finish!

If the book is a page-turner, I can read for hours. However, usually I can't continue reading after about an hour and a half. But I feel like I can read all day if I am putting something off like studying. If I have an exam coming up, I try to make excuses to myself to not study and I end up reading a book instead, I can get really far ahead.

I've read for around five or six hours before. It's if the book is incredibly interesting and I can't put it down, like you said.

Good book, Hours and Hours until it is done.

Depends on if my kids are asleep or not. If they are I can read for up to 2 hours and then for short (10 minutes or so spurts) unless the book is boring.

I've spent an entire day reading. Maybe it's something I've honed into myself over the years, but I don't get headaches, red eyes etc. after reading a long time. I read books in the same way one would binge watch a TV show, I guess. It just doesn't take much effort for me to read all day if I'm really enjoying said book.
