To *stop* reading means: you decided to stop voluntarily, and not because of other factors, such as you have other works, sleepy, etc. In other words, you stop because you feel bored of reading, or decide to read at another time.
Or are you a person who will just continue reading non-stop until there are other factors that forced you to stop, such as the library is closing, its already dark outside, you feel hungry, etc.

I used to polish off a brand new book within the same day I've bought it. But World of Warcraft has corrupted me and now I'm spending less and less time continuously reading.
Back in the day I'll continue to read until my eyes get tired. I usually stop at a round number page in the hundreds to easily remember lol.

depends on whether the book is interesting or not. But sometimes may also be affected by factors like mum calling out or it's time to meet up with frens/go sumwhere.

I don't stop reading at all unless other factor such as sleepy(late at night) or the need to go to toilet.

Non-stop. Usually trying to read slower so can enjoy the book longer.
Not applicable if the book has a horrible story or simply bad writing style.

until the i read the whole books.. but i have a bad habit. to read the intro first, then the epilogue(ending) and then finally i read the middle of the books. I dont like book that doesnt give me a good ending. or i would fantasize about it the whole day.

I usually don't stop unless I have to go to the loo, eat or sleep. Otherwise, I'll just continue reading until I finish the book, I'll even ignore phonecalls sometimes >"<

I read too slowly so can never finish in a day hahaha...
Will keep reading until eyes can't remain open...20 hrs maybe? given if there's time for it, and the book is good enough.

I normally read for 30 minutes to 1 hour before I sleep. Best to lie in bed and read

I don't stop! I'll finish it in one read because I can't stop and continue later - I will have uneasy feeling for the rest of the day wondering what will happen next in the story I'm reading, so, no way for me to stop..
