Okay you Literate people! Here’s a LONG thread! (I hope!) Which “CLASSIC” have you read the FASTEST. I read “Love Story” in 48 hours. (Paperback). I've read Hitchcock in 5 days. Next????
Can't call it a classic, but I read "The Davinchi Code" in 5 hours. Read the entire Hitchhiker's Guide Series in 4 days.
I don't know if it qualifies as a classic but I reread The Diary of Anne Frank in 3 hours, it's not a big book at all though
I never read classics fast. The fastest classic I ever read was The Idiot, and that took nearly a week. But I read every Discworld book, 1 day each.
Doors of Perception: 2 1/2 hours first read. On the Road a total of 8 hours two sessions, first read War amd Peace full weekend average sleep (i don't reccomend this, no matter how good you are , details play leapfrog...and I NEVER want to read this again..so I don't claim to "know" the book. )
no ones going to belive me but i read the odyssey on a five hour planr ride and read the intros on how to be a domestic goddess on the same flight...
I read Gone With the Wind the first time in about 5 or 6 hours (don't remember.. I stayed up all night doing it when I was 10 or 11) and in 4 hours every time since. I read the DaVinci Code in 5 hours. I read really fast if I set aside time to do it... most of the time I just read a little bit here and there.
I read "The Stand" (extended version) during a weeks worth of Filopino Physics classes, taught in Filopino (guess why I was reading The Stand?). So, about 7 and a half hours.
