Page counts are the median across the editions listed on Open Library, so your copy may run a little longer or shorter.
An afternoon or two evenings
Between 31 and 120 pages is a novella, a short nonfiction book, or the first act of a longer novel. It fits one long afternoon, or a few evenings at a short daily habit.
If you split it, stop at a chapter break. The next session starts faster when you pick up at the start of a scene instead of in the middle of one.
Why your real number will differ
These times assume about 250 words per page, so 45 pages is roughly 11,250 words. Dense pages, small print, and textbooks carry more words, and pausing or rereading adds time. Your own reading speed matters most: take the Reading Speed Test to replace the average with your measured pace.
