What's the most you've ever read in one sitting?

Wasn't one continuous sitting, took short breaks, but I read the deathly hallows in one day as a kid.

120 pages

brisingr cover to cover when I was a kiddo
wasn't sure how to feel once I finished, was Eragon really better or was it just my first taste of Nostalgia? Either way, I still believe that it's rules for magic were well done despite it's other faults

three hundred pages

read some ebooks cover to cover.

The Foundation for Exploration by Sean Goonan

More or less this.

Go to bed.

Took me 4 hours for The Stranger, something like 6 or 7 for The Crying of Lot 49. I skated through maybe 200 pages of IJ once.

The only thing stopping me from reading more is the inability to find a comfortable position to sit in

I had a summer assignment for ap lit and it was to read two books, native son, and the kite runner. I forgot all about it till the last 3 days, i read native son in two days, and the kite runner in one sitting all night

Probably some fantasy book in my childhood, I used to do nothing but slouch around the house and burn through many long genre fiction series I found on my mother's bookcase. Didn't count pages though, perhaps 300-400 since that's about the length of one such book. I think.

Nowadays I considered it a lot if I manage 50 pages a day. I don't enjoy literature the way I used to, I realised that just now. I thought I only grew out of video games and cinema but it appears it isn't related to my enjoyment of a certain hobby but the general state of mind I carry in my adulthood.

dude you are depressed

have y'all ever navigated to the bathroom to take a piss while reading the entire time?
That's how you get the real high scores.

i can only read like 50 pages or about an hour before I wanna go jack off to pornography instead

Read Karamazov in a day for a class.

Read The Prince in one sitting, 48 Laws of Power in another (already a bit of a pattern here). I read fiction books in intervals, but half of War & Peace in one sitting. It’s a bit of a mainstream classic, but I just love aristocratic society from that era, any era really.

Random question, do you have irregular sleeping intervals?

when i were a youngman i read the first harry potter in one sitting

East of Eden, front to back, for 10th grade Honors English.

Yes, why?

I read all of Siddhartha and The Old Man and the Sea (160 + 128 = 288 pages) in one sitting on a plane ride. Then on another plane ride I read all of Stoner and Man's Search for Meaning (288 + 184 = 472 pages).
I wouldn't ever normally read entire books in a single sitting, but they were long plane rides and I needed something to do.

When I was a kid I read a whole Narnia book in a day.

Read somewhere that excess masturbation causes a lot of problems in men, but so does not enough. One of the problems was sleeping disorder, another irritable behavior, lack of concentration, and lower confidence. Though, I feel like the latter are just what cause people to masturbate, maybe it’s an endless loop.

i lose sleep when im not jacking off

I figure this might be an addiction issue too, where you just feel compelled to masturbate, either out of boredom or some underlying necessity that if you try to neglect just becomes more and more difficult to ignore.

At most, I've read for two hours in a row, generally I enjoy sitting for an hour though. I'm a slow reader and that translates to 30 or 60 pages for your average pocketsized paperback.

Hamlet, which took about 4 hours. It was good enough that I hardly even realized

About 240 pages of regular print. Then I had to pee and get something to eat.

500 pages of The Stand in one day. Bored college student with no friends, I went to bed that night and dreamed a continuation of the plot from where I left off. Strange.

I read about 1/3rd of homestuck in one sitting so that equates to around 275k words.

When I was a kid I remember reading one of the harry potter books straight through when it came out. Not sure which one it was, maybe goblet of fire?

This except with Macbeth.
I'm a theatrefag acting BFA so I'm sick of Hamlet. It's the one work I wish I could forget, to read with fresh eyes.

Industrial Society and Its Future, in its entirety, except for the notes

I read 2/3 of Atlas Shrugged in one sitting. One of the worst books I have read.

I've read 18 hours in one go. I don't count the pages though. It was one bout of heavy legal text.

That's pretty good

Not him, but yes, it's a sign of depression. Used to watch like whole seasons (20 episodes x 40 mins) in 2 days with pleasure, now I force myself to watch any 5 min video.

Crime and Punishment in like two days. I went with my father on a vacation on 16 (huge mistake), mega undersocialized loser without a PC and interwebz. Fuck every moment of my life since I entered puberty.

200 pages.

It's also a sign of internet addiction.

Try going complete offline for a week, you will start doing other stuff when you can't just lurk Veeky Forums passively.

The internet is dangerous, it provides the most 'reward' for the lowest effort so a lot of people reach a state where they just always end up fucking around online because it's the easiest way to stave off boredom while not doing much at all.

Probably like 300 pages

Began early one Sunday morning, took a short lunch break, breaked again to walk my housemate's dog around 5p, finished late Sunday evening. I'm no fan of Ivan Karamazov.
