I can knock out a thousand pages in a few day or two hundred pages can take me weeks depending on the difficulty of the material and more importantly how engaged I am in it. I just started Jawaharlal Nehru's (first prime minister of India) "Glimpses of World History," which he wrote while in various prisons in the 30's. All the chapters were letters written to educate his daughter in the history of the world. It's informal and seems to reveal as much about the author as it will world history. I think it'll take me a few weeks to push through all 600 pagess, might stop and read something else inbetween.
