How long can you read in one sitting?

I can go 3 or 4 hours at a time, sometimes all day if the book really has my attention. Although that doesn't really happen much anymore with a toddler running around. We do like to have our reading time together though!

It really depends on the book. If the book is really interesting and gives me goosebumps as I read, I finish it in one sitting but if things get really dull, than maybe an hour or two or until I find something better to do.

As long as possible without having to do something life-related.

If I am really into a book I can get home from work and read it up until I fall asleep. If I'm just reading something just to finish what I started, I will usually only read it for a few hours a day.

Depends on book. I can read literally all day, take the book to the restroom, while I eat or whatever I'm doing. Sometimes its hard to disengage

I can read for about an hour and so, even in cars. I find it weird because I don't have to deal with dizziness while reading in cars. Instead, I feel good because I have my own adventure in my mind while having a journey to somewhere

I like to get up every hour and walk around. Keeps the blood moving:)

Usually I read for half an hour, or an hour in one sitting, but sometimes (rarely) I can read up to for 3,4 hours...

I can read in intervals of about 2 hours straight and then eventually my eyes grow weary. But, it really depends on how engrossed I become with the story.

I've gone hours reading probably at most 6 hours if its a good book and can't put it down.

Sounds like me! I love it when a book is so engaging that I must read it in one or at most 2 sittings!

Same. If the book is amazing I won't stop till I finish. Otherwise it is usually till I am hungry or if I am tired.

If the book is really great, i can read for 6-8 hours straight.

As long as it takes to finish the book. Yesterday, that was an hour and forty-five minutes.

It depends on the book and what else I have to do that day. If it is not a busy day and I love what I am reading, than I might just sit there all day.
