Can you read a book for 8 straight hours ??

Not anymore, but I have. Started Watership Down one night, thinking I wasn't going to like it, but got so pulled in, I read it through to the end. It's long, about 500 pages.

Must be a very good book. What was it?

8 would be stretch without taking some sort of short break so probably not. I think the longest was probably the Harry Potter books where I literally could not put them down. I certainly could read 8 hours in a day if I really enjoyed the book and had the time.

The only book I recall reading through in one sitting was a translation of Cyrano de Bergerac. I was in college, Summer School, beautiful day. The story was written in Verse, so it was pretty easy to read, and I think I just moved around to various locations and finished it in one day. However, it may not have required 8 hours to complete, and I can't even say how true it was to the original.
Many years later I read an abridged version of Les Miserables. When I saw "abridged" I thought it meant it was for maybe a younger reader, and avoided it for years. When I finally read it, I realized I may not be able to get through a more faithful rendering of the tale.

If I had to or loved it.

What novel was she reading? I want to read it!

Once upon a time I could. But since the internet and smart phones? Not so much. Too many convenient distractions. But back in the day I could sit down and read a book from noon to night no problem.

I couldn't keep reading for that amount of time. I haven't really timed myself. I think about an hour at a time is much as I can manage. I get fidgety after that. No matter how much the book interests me.

I've done that a couple of times. Not in a while though. I think I was reading Perfect Storm the last time.

Maybe she will come to you when she needs a sex break. Kinda recharges the batteries.
