I am getting back into reading physical books right now. A memoir. I have a goal of 21 minutes every day. I was mentioning this to my sister the other day and she said that on Sundays she sometimes will read for two hours without breaking her concentration.
Me, I have to throw my phone into a drawer if I even want to read for 30 minutes continuously.
What is the longest amount of time of continuous uninterrupted reading? How did you build up this level of concentration and also what does your environment look like to achieve this level of focus?

it depends on the book. i used to get the midnight release of every harry potter book and read it start to finish in one sitting.
i recently did this with star wars eu books. i just crushed all the series and read as much as i could in between work and sleeping.
i find i only get distracted from reading if im not really invested in the story or im hanging out with friends.
Probably one of the harry potter releases as a teenager. Would have to have been like 10+ hours without eating or drinking.
