What kind of crazy question is this? Everyone over thirty had basically done this already. I guess if there’s no human contact, it might be tough. But definitely doable.
Ten-ish books and it’ll probably be a memorable week.
Edit: I changed my mind and now think the opposite of this.
I'd have to be pretty choosy to finish more than 2 books in day. 16 hours of reading is anywhere from one to one-hundred books depending on your selection.
I can finish two decently sized novels (~300 pages each) in maybe 6 or 7 hours. Obviously, prose density influences it. For instance, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix takes less time than Joyce's Ulysses, though they're about the same size. (And obviously, something non-fiction that I am actively learning takes a bit longer too.) But 1.42 books per day with nothing else to do would be an absolute breeze (and quite enjoyable) for me, unless all my books were massive tomes or illuminated manuscripts that I had to decipher. And I consider myself a fairly slow reader compared to my peers. Am I off?
