How long can you read in one sitting?

It does depend on what time of the day it is. If it's late afternoon, then not long at all before I've nodded off, even if it is a gripping read!! Lunchtime and evenings are better for me, then I can read for up to 2 - 3 hours in one sitting!

It really depends on the book honestly. Some of the best books I have ever read I have spent multiple days straight reading them only getting up for the bathroom and food. #obsessed

I can read for hours if it the book is good enough for me to get absorbed in!

Depends on my schedule for the day. Some days I can read all day with small breaks every hour or so.

If I don't have anything to do I can just pick up a book and read all day. I don't need breaks, the story just kind of sucks me in and doesn't let me go until I've finished it :p

If I don't really have anything to do for the day, then I can actually spend all day reading. There have been a few times in my life that I have finished a book in one sitting. It's a rarity anymore. So I think nowadays I would probably spend around 6 hours a day reading.

Depends on how good the book is. I can read for hours. Then I get mad because I finished the book too fast

As long as I can keep my eyes open

If I book sparks my interest and I have time, I would straight through until the end. I can go hours and hours. 10 hours. It's amazing how the next time you look up, it's hours later.

I could read a book for hours if it has my attention. I once spent an entire day reading because the Pen Dragon series had me hooked. If a book or part of a book is boring then I think that I could only handle 30 minutes, maybe an hour. It's hard to read through a boring part and feels like it takes forever.

I will read a book from start to finish in one sitting neglecting my life. I will read until my eyeballs need to be propped open with toothpicks if it is a great book. I think I am a reading addict.

When I received my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I could not put it down. I read the whole book in twelve hours straight through without stopping. Now that I am married with a fifteen month old baby, six dogs, and two cats, I just don't have the time to read more that 30 minutes at a time.

The longest siting I did was my Junior year in highschool. I can't remember how many of the books in the series I read but I do know I was reading the Vampire Academy series. The sitting lasted my 13 hours ! I only stopped to use the restroom and when I went to get a simple dinner (5 mins top. My dinner consisted of salad and fruit. Vegan )
