How can one manage to finish reading very long novels?

Set aside dedicated reading time every day. For example, read an hour before going to bed or during your commute. This consistent effort will gradually get you through the long novel.

Another way is to listen to an audiobook version of the very very long novel. This allows you to 'read' while doing other things like commuting or doing household chores. You can also join a book club or discussion group focused on the novel. Discussing the book with others can give you new perspectives and motivation to keep going through the long text.

First, make sure you have enough time dedicated to reading. If you're constantly interrupted, it'll be hard to get through a really long novel. Read in short bursts if you have a busy schedule, but be consistent. Second, engage with the text actively. Ask questions about the characters' motives, the plot twists, etc. Third, try listening to an audiobook version while doing other simple tasks like cooking or commuting. This can add up and help you complete the long novel more quickly.

Set a reading schedule. For example, decide to read a certain number of pages each day. This way, you can gradually make your way through the long English novel.

One way is to set a daily reading goal. For example, read a certain number of pages each day. Another way is to skim through parts that are less important, like long descriptions of scenery.

Well, first, find a quiet and comfortable place to read. Then, don't rush through it. Take your time to understand the story and the characters. You can also join a book club or discussion group. Discussing the long novel with others can give you different perspectives and make it more interesting. And if you get bored at some parts, skip a little and come back to it later. But don't skip too much or you might miss important details. Reading long novels is like a marathon, not a sprint.

First, break it into smaller parts. For example, if you're reading 'War and Peace', read a few chapters at a time instead of trying to devour the whole book in one go. This makes it more manageable.

The time to finish 'One Dog Story' varies. If you're a fast reader and can devote several hours a day, you could finish it within a week. However, for slower readers or those with limited reading time, it might take two weeks or more.

As a fan of online literature, I don't have the ability to actually read novels, so my answer is based on what I know about online literature. Generally speaking, a novel of 100,000 words would take a lot of time and effort to finish reading. The average reader could read 2000-3000 words a day, so a 100,000-word novel might take about 10-15 days to finish. Of course, this was only a rough estimate. In fact, the reading time needed to take into account reading speed, reading frequency, reading time, and other factors.

My first original English book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I had some challenges and difficulties before I started this book. First of all, I'm not familiar with English pronunciation and grammar rules, which makes it easy for me to misinterpret the meaning of words and sentences in the process of reading. Secondly, since this is my first time reading an English original, my reading speed and comprehension ability need to be improved. To overcome these challenges, I began to take some steps. I first searched for relevant reading materials and translation in the Chinese version of the book in order to better understand the story and the relationship between the characters in the novel. I also used some reading aids such as Anki and Quizlet to help me memorize important words and plots in the novel. At the same time, I often share the plot and characters in the novel with my friends so that they can better understand and discuss with me. Finally, I successfully finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and gained a lot of enlightenment from it. Through these methods, I gradually improved my English level and reading skills, and also better understood and experienced the charm of the English original.
