I can't.
I have a job, and my free time I would not even dare about spending it reading a book.
However, in my younger high school days, I did read a couple of 400+ page books.

Depends on how much I'm able to ignore my kids and other social obligations. If I really needed to I probably could though.

Though last year I did read through the sunlight Stormlight archive books and each took about 2 weeks, and those are between 1000 to 1200 pages each.

Depending on how much free time I have and if the book is interesting enough? Easily.

A boring book I'd likely give up on pretty easily rather than force myself to read.

Only if it's really really fun and interesting and I don't have that much else to do.

I probly average 250-300 pages a week just normally. If the book really got me into it it could be a 2 or 3 day read just cause.

I read Deathly Hallows in a day when it came out. The US version is like 780 pages. Granted, the pages are pretty damn short, but based on that, I could definitely do it for most books.

Depends on the book. If it's an easy read, like most stories, sure. If it's a nonfiction book teaching something complex, it's going to take a while.

Yep. Got that delivered when it came out. Went out on a family hike until 3, came home then read the whole thing before 10.

Also read all the GoT books within 4 days.

Yeah thats not hard if you read a lot and the book was really interesting. Read Dance with Dragons in 5 days. Read the 7th Harry Potter book in two days ( It had ow wold count per page though).

It's like binging a good show on netflix or a good video game

In a week, no problem.

I will say, however, that not all books are made equal. I can mow through a novel pretty quickly, but something more complex and information dense will take me longer, as I want to be sure I understand what I'm reading

I read through A Feast for Crows for the first time in one overnight sitting - it was during a power outage, and I had to stay up all night babysitting a faulty portable generator that would shut itself off every 5-30 minutes (thankfully I at least had a battery-powered lantern to read by). Admittedly I was maybe 100 pages into it already, and the wiki says it's only 700-odd pages (although the page count on my paperback version is just shy of 1,000, so whichever is supposed to count).
