How Long To Read A 300 Page Book Novels & Stories

She never cared, though, and I didn't think she cared now. "Will you?" I whispered, hoping that Mrs. Flinch wouldn't catch us and ask us to explain what she was saying. "If I finish this book in time, I will," she sighed, waving a thick book in my face. I can't understand how someone sits down to read for a whole day and only stops for bathroom breaks. I don't get the joy people find in such things. To me, it was just staring at words and nothing more. I still haven't read past the first thirty pages of the book and it has three hundred plus pages in it.

He asked, jerking me out of my thoughts. I chuckled softly. "It is 150 pages. I believe you can do it." "Thanks for believing in me. But, 150 pages is a big deal to me. I will finish the book in three and a half weeks though, depending on how interesting it is." He said. "You are unbelievable. You should try reading books. Reading should be a hobby for everyone." "You should try playing football. Football should be a hobby for everyone." "Football is difficult." I uttered.

I ask again for clarification. "I told you. Once you've read the entire book," he says nonchalantly. "The book is, like, 500 pages. That'll take me ages. By the time we start, I won't even remember what's on the first ten pages," I grumble. "Then you'd better get started, little bean," he teases.

He lowered his head with dampness in his eyes. Subsequently, the troubled boy found himself immersed in the Book. Furthermore, he did not notice the time and he even finished 40 pages in one sitting. For a person who barely, less or lesser, read a book, it would be a shocker. Who could fathom the ultimatum of an innocent boy set foot in an unimaginable life?

he instructed me. “Alright” Taking the keys from him, I wait for him to leave. “You have one hour and twenty minutes” he added as he decided to leave. My eyes widened. Forty minutes have already passed. I should be quick. I started with the top shelf corner. It took me twenty minutes as I went through every page, reading history, about curses and stuff. One hour passed by and I was losing my hope as only two books were remaining. Only twenty minutes and I went through the remaining two books. My heart was saddened when I did not find the cure. With an angry growl, I kicked the shelf. And a small leather book fell down. Frowning, I took a look and flipped it.

“Now, begin.” I licked my lips and turned over the pages, running my eyes over the content as fast and precisely as I could. He impatiently tapped his feet while I read. The timer on his phone went off. He snatched the book from my hand and turned it over to a random page. “Read out the entire page sixty-nine,” he said, leafing through the pages. Keeping my eyes fixed on his eyes, I began.

Why some packs rose, why others crumbled into dust. Light reading. The kind of thing normal people grabbed when they couldn't sleep. Or when they were secretly unhinged. She didn't consider herself a fast reader, yet the moment she opened it the pages pulled her in, each chapter feeling disturbingly familiar, like scattered memories rising too quickly to the surface. Her brain was doing that thing again, the thing she refused to name, where information locked into place like it had been waiting for her to catch up. She devoured the entire book before he returned. Six hundred pages. In under two hours. She would take that particular detail to her grave.

Elma said, “Looks like peace.” Destiny said, “It was. You should come next time.” Elma said, “I will. If I have time.” Destiny put phone down. Looked at her hard. Destiny said, “You have time now. Use it.” The words sat between them. Heavy but warm. Like a blanket. Elma nodded. Didn’t promise. Didn’t lie. Just nodded. Elma talked about the book she finally finished. Not wrote. Finished reading. 300 pages. Paper. No screen. Took her two weeks. One chapter a night.

Indeed, in four hours' time, I was able to finish “reading” all three thousand books in the library. In fact, I'd actually used three hours and thirty minutes, while the remaining half an hour was used in digesting my newfound knowledge. “Ah,” I sighed gently, breathing out turbid gas from my lungs. I was seated cross-legged with my arms balance before my chest. If it hadn't been for the United Heavens cultivation method, I doubt I'd have had the energy to last this long.

Even reading English from 1700’s was very different. “It’s fairly short.” Snorting, I grabbed the book and glared at it. “Yeah, but…it’s…” “A classic?” “Hard. The Sorrows of Young Werther isn’t just some YA love novel.” Mr. Penn raised an eyebrow at me. “Then you can’t do it?” Cursing under my breath, I slammed it down. “Fine. End of October I need to be able to read…how many pages?” “Until I say stop and start wherever I say, so you don’t just memorize it.”
