Black Wolf Smith Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I found this test, and my word count was 220 pm, said I would finish in 46 days, but that was at 2 and 1/2 hours a day. When I read aSoIaF the first time, I was reading a lot more. IIRC I read the books in GoT 6 days, aCoK and aSoS together in 8 days*, aFFC in 7, slowly read aDwD in 9 days for a total of 30 days. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2766949/How-fast-YOU-read-Take-test-discover-long-finish-bestselling-novels-including-Game-Thrones.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Just wonder where others stood at. ETA: I skipped slipping a couple days that week and only slept a few hours on the rest. I had to know what happed next, just had too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff_Stark Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It never took more than two days to read the new books in store. If I had them on the table by a good chair, and no other distractions, maybe a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon2908 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I took me around 2 months to read the whole series because I used to read them during night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerin of the House Hador Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It took me exactly a month, but since I read them in English and English is not my maternal language, I think it's quite fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummester Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That test said it would take me 54 days (@ 2hrs per day) and I'm near the end of ASoS in around 35 days - so it seems fairly accurate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion the Perfect Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 3 months for the 5 books, but I work 12 hour days and it was football season so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingoftheSevenKingdoms Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It took me 3 days to finish A Game of Thrones, another 4 to finish a Clash of Kings, a week for A Storm of Swords and another week for a Feast for Crows (super busy and the book was a bore), and three days for a Dance with Dragons. So around a month. But this was because I had bought the entire series all at once and I am extremely fast reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynned Lannistark Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 3 days for GoT , but read it in my native language and on vacation.The others I read in English at nigh time after long working hours so about 2 weeks a book. All in all it was about 6 months - had a 4 months break after red wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 You could read the entire Game of Thrones collection in 20 days. (404 days faster than the average person!) Took me nine days-it was Christmas break 2011, so I had more time. I'm an avid reader anyway and usually get through a hundred odd books a year.

How I Met Your Hodor Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm a pretty keen reader, it took me three weeks I reckon, although it was study leave at the time... yeah that turned out well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 One week. I'm kind of proud of that. I'm a very fast reader - and I'm not skimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid So Fair Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 About a week on the last re-read, when I had all the books and read in pretty much every available moment. The first time I read them I did not have all the books and had to get them after finishing the last one so it's hard to tell. I think maybe a bit longer overall, though, as I had more information to take in. I'm a very fast reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconluigi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Somewhere around 3-4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
