When I find an exciting book I can't leave it until I finish it. Actually this happens for every book my hands reach. Is this true for you? Which book you've read on one breath for the last time?

The last book that I read in one go was "Whispers and Lies" by Joy Fielding. It was a book that a friend had left at mine after she finished and said to give her it back when I had read it as I was in the middle of one of my own books. Well I finished my book in bed one night before going to sleep, so the next day while it was quiet and the kids were at school I decided to give this book a go and by the time I was ready to go to bed that night I had read the whole book. That included me putting the book down to help kids with homework and cook and eat dinner.

The Alchemist - The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho: Recommended Reading
I used to read a lot of Anne Rice and novels about vampires but I haven't really read one in one breath. I like to read a chapter or two and then stop. I don't really have that much spare time..., The only book that I've read from cover to cover in one sitting is "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho. But its just a really thin book, LOL:)

Yes and the last one is Leviticus - the third book of the Holy Bible. I write primarily to serve God and help people understand the Word of God. And in the course of translating and writing, I read. I am a Christian, a child of God, baptized into Christ on October 1, 1989 and I belong to the Church of Christ founded and headed by Christ as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am given the gift of knowledge and understanding Bible Greek and I translate the Word of God from Greek to English PLAINLY - Greek word into its English equivalent with additional words for grammar purposes written in italics so that readers may delete them when they so desire. I have already published GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek-English), THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin

Hmm... it require time to finish one book at one breath. Hmm... let me think.. maybe Desperation. I managed to finish it in two days because at that time i was on semester break at Uni.. so have plenty of time... I borrowed that book from a local library and just cannot get off the book...

The latest book that captivated me so much I has to finish as soon as possible was Phantom written by Susan Kay. It was recommended by a myLotter here and it tells the life story of the guy who was going to become the phantom of the opera. I absolutely loved it, it was beautifully written, I just couldn't put it down.

Yes Tzvetelina, you are right, there are books so exciting that we would read in one breath, and yet.... I always try to keep calm because I love tasting my favourite books little by little. It's a good thing that a young girl like you loves reading so much.... I'm Italian, and in my country the most of teen agers have other desires....
