This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Usually how long you will take to finish reading your novel ?
Finish the book within a day or take your own sweet time to finish ?

For me, it will be days. Haha. Slow reader. n_n
Busy will things.

So, recently what novel you guys are reading ?
Me?
Kino no tabi, by Sigsawa Keiichi.

My world record was a Goosebump book (Fourth Grade Level) in 15 minutes. Yup, I was 10. However if I speed read italicized writing, I will start to gag and want to vomit. >_<

Finished the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit in 5 days- Basically I will finish most long, few hundred page novels in 6 hours or less. If I feel lazy however, I'll slow down. ^^

2-3 days to maybe even a couple of weeks, depending what I'm reading and if I'm really into it. Tom Clancy's novels are good enough to occupy my time. So far I've two of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series, and I've read Larry Bond's "Red Phoenix" (he was co-author of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising). I'm currently reading L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy.

Well, it depends on the number of pages, the style, and the interest that I have in the story or the author...

Once, I've finished a book in less than 2 hours...
In high school, I was reading a lot and in rapid pace, now I do not have much time to do so in university with the studies and the extra-curricular activities, so I can spend around a week to finish up a book... when I have the time to read of course, which is not happening that much lately...

I am a pretty fast reader, so it depends. I started Inkspell (635 pages) around 9:00 PM on Christmas Eve and even with the holiday festivites dragging me around the house I read about 250 pages a day. I love to read, so I just do it a lot. My parents used to have doubts that I could read as fast as I said and I got drilled on what was on whatever I read. XD I timed myself a few months ago and I could read about 100 pages an hour if un-interupted.

Even though I can read fast, I like to savor books and sometimes read the same chapter multiple times until I'm satisfied. I'm currently reading "Blood Test" by Johnathan Kellerman and "A Dog's Life: The Autobiography of a Stray" by Ann Martin. Some other good books I've read include "The Conspiracy Club," also by Jonathan Kellerman and any of the "Body of Evidence" books by Christopher Golden.

If I buy a novel that I have been wanting, it will usually take me no longer than 2 days to finish it because I will read it non-stop if possible. If I am just mildly interested in it, then it will take me about a week and a half because I will only find time to read it on my commute to work on the bus and subway, which averages a little over 2 hours per day. Book I am currently reading? Random House: Living Language - Japanese Coursebook. I have been on this one for about 1 month now and see myself studying it at least another 8. As far as novels, the last one I re-read was Native Son by Richard Wright. Before that was probably Servant of the Shard by RA Salvatore (Drizzt Do'ourden).

I love reading. I would pick reading a good book/graphic novel over playing video games, watching TV, or even Anime "gasp!" Hehe Anyways, I love to read and I usually read a good 500 page novel in about 6 hours or less depending on font size and wording. I read the The Half-blood Prince in like a day, and most really good novels take a day or two. If it's especially boring then a week max. The only exceptions are when I have already read a book twice then it can take up to month since I don't have the drive to read the same story over and over and over again.

When it comes to any Harry Potter Book in the series, it will take me 1-2 weeks tops since I have toher things in my life.

For average novels, it would take me 4-5days at least.

Well...me?
I finished my favorite Anne Rice book in 3 days, yet still absorbing the wonders of her words.
I was reading "Blood and Gold" and then "Blood Canticle" lately, both finished in total of 7 days.

I can finish a good-sized novel in a day, if I am really interested in it. I am an avid reader; I won an award for it in school, and was always reminded by the teachers to put down the book during class. ^^;

But, now that I'm older, I usually spend a couple of days on it. I like to let it last and take my time. =D

Right now I'm reading Hawke's Harbor, The Song Reader, The Penultimate Peril, and re-reading Flower's For Algernon. ^^; I read many books at one time.
