So, from this, I gather it includes the breaks?
Received mostly negative reviews.

I dunno where Martha went, but I'm not going to include breaks. I'm gonna time myself per chapter since my free day went kaput. ;D
Redwall is always open, its tables laden, to you and any of good heart.

I read Taggerung in one day; and I wasn't even reading it straight through. I read Redwall so much that my punishment is no reading!
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Noooo! Such a punishment - this is terrible and unheard of! No reading? :'( You must have suffered so. ;D
....in just one day? Wow, I a lot of people seem to have done this. I must try it some time...

I read about 4/5's of a series in one day, and they were pretty thick, about 220-300 pages long. I think I read about 5 of them. Very good, especially because they were about Australian football.  :)
Received mostly negative reviews.

I read Mariel of Redwall in one day. I was at a Family Christmas party, and I got kinda bored, so...

I used to read the books as fast as I could, but now I'm trying to read them more slowly to enjoy them more and get a better understanding

Yeah, since Brian Jacques died, I've been trying to svor every paragraph of the books so they aren't over too fast.

Sheesh, I didn't know Redwall fans were such speed readers. The fastest I ever read a book was "Taggerung" in 2 days, from early morning one day to just before midnight the next. The idea that anyone could clear the mammoth "Mattimeo" in one day boggles my mind.

Mattimeo was short to me. I don't know, I just wish it had lasted longer. It was really good.
