Just can't put it down

The last book was "The boy in Striped Pyjamas" by Irish writer John Boyne. It's about an unlikely friendship between a Polish Jewish boy in Auschwitz and the Camp Commandant's son. A very simple book, but quite powerful too. My all time favourite book is The Wind in the Willows. I will read that sometimes and go straight back to the beginning once I have finished it!

My favorite author is Mary Higgins Clark, so any of her books are hard to put down. I also like Dan Brown, James Patterson and several other authors who write mysteries and espionage. I am also a big fan of books about the supernatural, biographies and auto-biographies. I cannot say which books were hard for me to put down because, if a book grabs me after the first chapter, I will only put it down if I cannot keep my eyes open or have to do something else.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett was an incredible read. This book was hard to put down. I didn't read it in one sitting as there were about 1,000 pages to this book.

Hi dear i like reading and whenever i start my book, i like and want to read it in one sotting or with out break so i can enjoy the fluency of it, unless it has chapters in it. And sure when i am reading i am Lost in it and some times feel in same situation. But now life us getting busiers and toughr , so its hard to get thsat much time, but still i try and loook for it Take care

There have been two books lately that I have been unable to put down. They are both by the same author. One is called My Sister's Keeper and the other is called Nineteen Minutes. Both of these books are kind of long, but so very good. They also both have endings that you would never expect.

As far as I can remember the last book that I couldn't put down was a romance novel book. My mom even scolded me because I'm reading it until the morning the next day because the story was very beautiful and very touching. Godspeed...

I have finished " NO Time for Goodbye" It is a book about a fourteen year old girl who wakes up to find out that her family has evaporated in thin air. Fifteen years later she tries to search what has really happened on that night that stole her family away.

I checked out a romance from the library. it was an sf romance, but it was kindda fun and the fellow... now, he sounded yummy.. he was a cat alien with extra gifts....

My problem alas is I have a bad tendency to fall asleep now whenever I try to do some serious reading...(or am I being an idiot..LOL). I often read while stretched out in bed before going to sleep...often my one cat Pyewacket must think reading is boring and sits on my book, so then heaven forbid I disturb him. The very last book though that I did read practically non-stop was The DaVinci Code..must have read that book in record time..only two nights...don't ask what time I went to bed reading it.

I think I can honestly say 'A Thousand Splendid Sons' by Khaleed Hooseni is a beautiful book of a small girl in Afghanistan married to a man old enough to be her father and all the sufferings. Its a must read book for it shows life in its real form in strict Muslim countries. It tears your heartstings and you dont want to stop reading it. Another of his book is the Kite Runner. I also enjoyed Prissoner of Birth by John Grisham, Loves to dance, loves to sing by Mary Higgens Clark and so many more. But do read the first one wi thout fail. This guy is amazing.

A book about two mice getting together and making house etc. Its a book I brought for my daughter for christmas, I'm going to read it to her, but it looked so good that I couldn't wait until christmas so i started to read it and I just couldn't put it down until I read all of it. It is a chapter book so it took me quite a while, I hadn't finished it by the time she came home from school so I had to hide it and wait until she had gone to bed to finish it.... it was a very long wait

I have just finished reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. It is so suspenseful that i hate putting it down to stop reading and do my chores at home. But i also don't want to finish it soon because i want to really remember every single detail of the story. Finding who the killer was got me turning on the page continuously and i was so intrigued by the Illuminati. But when i realized that i am about to finish it, i stopped so that i could still enjoy reading it for a couple more days.

I'm working on the Harry Potter series (I got a really late start) and they are holding my attention pretty good. I want to finish this one to get to the next one but the only one so far that's kept me totally riveted was the Prisoner of Azkaban (which makes sense since it's been my favorite of the movies up to this point). Before that it was the Dresden Files. There are ten books so far and since I hate hard cover books (they're big and clumsy and hard to stretch out on the couch with...they're okay for text books but not pleasure reading) I have to wait until March to read the tenth and it's kind of making me crazy. All nine of the ones I've read, I've finished in between 3-5 hours, collectively because I sit at Starbucks for about a half an hour each week and read.

Please do not laugh at me. My question is: does the Bible count as a Book on your list? You see once I got past Deuteronomy and started on Judges I could simply not put it down until I got to Job. It was fascinating and rolled along like any of the books you have mentioned here. It was full of romance, murder, action, suspense, drama, and all of the other things that any good book has. So does it count? BTW I have finished the whole thing a couple of times and there is even some pretty steamy love scenes in there.

Stone Cold by David Baldacci. Most Baldacci books are hard to put down for me, but then I like a good detective/mystery story. I think my favorite by Baldacci is "The Winner".

If I have to make a list, it would be pretty long. Since I read about 2-4 books in a week, I usually have plenty of books that keep me gripped and pushed me to keep reading even if its way past midnight and I have to work the next day. I guess I could share the latest one that has captured my full attention, making me spend most of my day off reading instead of doing my chores. That would be Into the Storm by Suzanne Brockmann, Book 10 in this Troubleshooters/Seal Team 16 series. I just enjoy the way she writes,andshe captures males POV. Caught myself laughing quite hard in some parts, and the tension was gripping. It's a suspense/thriller romance novel. It was a great read.

it happened while i was reading lord of the rings for the fifth time....i knew everything abt it and almost knew it line to line cover to cover but still i could not put it down....

Wild at Heart by John Eldridge, its for guys to discover the warrior in them, you know the one that was lost and is still in there, its a great book.

I haven't read any books in a good while but, the last book I read was really good. It was called Sleeping With The Crawfish, I can't remember the authors name and I loaned it to my mother, sorry but, it was an awesome murder mystery. In this book it's the person you least wxpect, I thought I had figured out who the killer was but, I was so wrong!!!!

I can think of three books that have affected me like that. Bear in mind that I generally read a book in a day or at most two days, so to find a real page-turner is brilliant. I'll read anything, too, so I go through some real crap! The three books: firstly, Imajica (Clive Barker). I remember sitting up in bed at 3am with this one telling myself that "one more chapter won't hurt" and with my alarm set for 6:30am for work... Secondly, Whiteout (Ken Follett). Totally not my normal genre, but very, very well written and a really gripping story. Stolen viral agents, betrayals, annoying reporters, it has everything - even a cute puppy. Finally and most brilliantly, Lord Demon (Roger Zelazny & Jane Lindskold). Zelazny is, by far, my favourite author. I own every book he's written, except one. Lord Demon is wonderful: humorous, intriguing, beautiful and a stonker of an adventure.
