Depends on book, how absorbed you are, how much time you have to put aside, etc.

Everyone does everything at their own pace, don't feel threatened. That's a mug's game

I'm mostly being facetious, I love to read, but I tend to read a lot of nonfiction shit like Chomsky or Stephen Kinzer. I'm not worried that I'm dumb, I am a little shook about the idea of finishing a book in 2 hours though honestly.
