<p>Yeh. I have to do that in 2 weeks? Is it possible? Discuss............</p>
<p>600 pages at a rate of 1 page/min will take you 10 hours. it really depends on the font size/page size, i guess. the pages will likely take you more than a minute to read, though, but who knows. some books are easy reads, others aren't.</p>
<p>That's more than possible. If you just read 50 pages a day you can finish it in two weeks or less (depending on how much your + means)</p>
<p>I would hope so. 300 pages per week is pretty standard in college.</p>
<p>^ Yea... I'm not especially looking forward that. Maybe if it was an interesting subject...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>That's why you have to learn the art of skimming/speed reading.</p>
<p>What book is it? A 600-page novel is different from a 600-page Stephen Ambrose teeth-puller.</p>
<p>the book is entitled "The Bleak House" by Charles Dickens</p>
<p>Bleak House is not an easy read. One of Dickens' darker books.</p>
<p>None of Dickens' books are easy reads...But I think he's one of those authors whose books you can still understand without reading every word. ie. skip a few pages when it gets dull; you won't miss anything lol</p>
<p>I read Oliver Twist, which is not much shorter, in about three weeks at only an hour a day. Six hundred pages in two weeks shouldn't be very difficult.</p>
<p>3 to 4 pages per minute for me. Although you can hit 6 pages a minute and still understand what's going on but you may miss important specifics at that rate.</p>
<p>depends if i like the book.</p>
<p>I did Harry Potters 4,5,6 in one day a piece, and I've read long Tom Clancy novels (miniscule font - 800 pages) in two-three days, but then again, if they hadn't been interesting, it would have taken me a couple weeks, if not more.</p>
<p>Reading Dickens is much more taxing than Harry Potter. Goblet of Fire may be over 600 pages, but the print is large, the language modern, and the writing short and rather sparse. Dickens is everything opposite of that.</p>

<p>Agreed. There are parts in some of his books where it was obvious that he was doing the usual task of unnecessarily lengthening his novels, i.e. the theater side-story in Nicholas Nickleby. You can easily skip those and lose very little, if anything, of the whole story.</p>
<p>I read the Forsyte Saga (900 pages) in 8 days. I read Of Human Bondage (600 pages) in 4 days. So yes you can :p</p>
<p>It really depends on how good the book is. I read a 380-page book that I luved in less than two days, but another book that i was not so fond of, that had 180 pages, took me over a week....</p>
<p>I read Harry potter and half blooded prince in 12 hours.</p>
<p>It can be done in a day, I read the half blood prince in 6 or 8 hours, i can't remember.</p>
<p>I hated my summer homework books but I pushed through them regardless. Granted it took me more than 12 hours because this wasn't a fun read, didn't have current language, and I was analyzing while I was reading, but it's a matter of determination and persistence :p</p>
