I read the dutch version for the first time when I was about 12. It took me about 4 weeks to read. The english version I read when I was 16 and then it took me about 3 weeks. If I would reread it now (I'm 25), it would probably take me a week (but that's only because I know the book now and my english improved a lot over the years).

The first time I've read LOTR it took me about a month - would you expect anything better of a 9-year-old? When I reread it the summer before last, it took me 1 week. I've just reread it recently again, but I have a lot of homework and other commitements, so it took me 3 weeks. It's probably not the work that slowed me down, though, but savouring every word (like others said before me
 ).

A week tops for each book (minus the Sil), give or take. That's usually how long it takes me for any lengthy novel, BUT that's if I don't read during the nights, add that in and it's usually a little less than a week.

If I read during the nights I can read LOTR in 5 days. 7 if I read only during the day. Unless I have lots of schoolwork.

I've only read It once all the way threw so far (I'm in the process of reading it again after I just finished a month ago). It takes me about a month to read each book. I like to read carefully and look up peoples names that pop up so that I understand better. Also I like to re-read chapters like the bridge of Khazad-dûm ( It's my favorite if you couldnt tell by my username).
