Varies immensely on the book. Sometimes I'll fire through a book im really enjoying in a few days other times it'll take me weeks.
I mostly read epic sci-fi / fantasy so I guess theyre usually pretty long.
No Forbidding Allowed
My band made (another) Xmas song: https://soundcloud.com/polarityman/p...in-vallhalla-2
Moby Dick about 3 years - I loved the imagery.
Transactional Analysis Books - I never put them down, I start them over again.
Sci-Fi a few days.
Biogs - a week or two
Classics - I usually get bored - someone has distilled all the good stuff down in something derivative decades ago... (just kidding - check your blood pressure)
The managers of sensational papers ... do not try to educate their readers and make them better, but tend to create perverted tastes and vicious tendencies. The owners of these papers seem to have but one purpose and that seems to be to increase their circulation - Medical Brief Volume 26 1898
Depends on the book really. I raced through the latest Stuart Macbride in a couple of days. I've had Billy Conolly's Route 66 on the go since Xmas. I still haven't read more than three chapters of Titus Groan in 15 years.
I'm fed up with people joking about dyslexia. It's not big and it's not furry.
the amount of books I read in a year is directly related to how rainy it is when I'm on holiday.
Otherwise takes me weeks to get through a book based on just reading the odd chapter on public transport. I almost never read a book at home.
Breeding mammals with insects is my personal bugbear.
Depends on the book. A lightish novel can be done in a matter of hours. Heavy literature or pholosophy takes a lot longer as I have to digest it.

Plenty of bargains to be had.
As in concurrent distributed systems? I'm studying that very topic right now if you have any recommendations
EDIT: gah, wiki says psychology stuff, nvm
As for me, it depends massively on the size of the book and how much I enjoy it, also what time I have available. Camus' The Outsider took me a sunny afternoon, LOTR trilogy about a year I think
All practice and no theory
