Average amount of time it takes you to finish a book:
This really depends. On average, I read a little over 100 pages an hour, more if the print's large or if it's a YA novel. Most translated books take a little longer, and books with small print take me at least twice as long.
How many of the above symptoms you regularly experience:
> You incessantly spice up conversation with book quotes.
Constantly
> You sit in the back of the movie theater whispering "That's not what happened in the book!" to whatever random stranger happens to be sitting next to you.
I tend to shake my head in disbelief or make small, angry noises rather than whisper, but I always read the book first.
> You bring a book to lunch most days.
Almost every day, but I never seem to actually read it.
> You get so caught up in whatever book you happen to be reading that you a) laugh, b) cry, c) scream at the book, and/or d) throw the book at the wall because you hate how it ended.
I laugh quite a bit. I rarely cry (Hachiko Waits and Love You Forever being the two exceptions). I haven't screamed or thrown a book yet. I angrily mutter at them instead.
> You read so late into the night that you lose track of time, and end up staying up till like three AM.
Yep.
> You've read a book cover to cover in one sitting.
Not in a while, but I have. I like to savor books and read them slowly.
> You've fallen in love with a fictional character.
Yes, but not in actual romantic love. More like friend love.

I've read "The Lost Children" and "The Gateway to Foo" before, and just wanted to put them in my personal library; but the "Warriors" books I've not read yet.
