ever read a book in one sitting?

[Arctic]

if so, which was it? was it worth the read?

[Cogito]

"Silk," a short romance novel set in the 17th century. It's about a European silk trader, who -- in his thoughts -- strays from his wife, towards a Japanese woman. It is a very thin book, and took no time at all to read (if Tom Clancy had written it, I'm sure he could easily have padded it out to a 1,200 page book, heheh), which I think is the only reason why I tried reading it. It turned out to be amazingly subtle, and an excellent read. There was no great love or tragedy ala Shakespear, but an elegant simplicity that made for a tale of melancholy, longing, and a message that at least I interpreted as the importance of appreciating and enjoying life.

Good Omens, Bag of Bones.


Wonderful books have read them countless of times.

[Doom]

Every Harry Potter from 2 (or 3?) and on. Which were definitely worth it. Harry kicks ass.

Some Lloyd Alexander books when I was younger (from the Prydain Chronicles). I loved them back then, I should probably try reading them again.

Don't remember any others.

[Bladicus]

Every Louis Lamour book except Lonesome Gods and Comestock Load
over 80 titles starting with Hondo and A man called Noon.

Just did it with Boone's Lick by Larry McMurtry. Good western, definetely worth it.

The Star Beast - by Robert Heinlein

[Arctic]

last one i read straight through was called 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. it was very good until the end. the ending just wasn't what i'd expected and kinda disappointing.

Loads of Pratchette stuff,
Potter 1 - 3 (not all in one day you understand, 3 * 1!)
Loads of Ronald Dahl stuff when I was younger
The Hobbit
Children of the mind
Player of games

This is mostly on holidays - especially if the weather sucks - I just find a cafe and drink juice or coffee & read all day.

NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE

And I also spent two successive evenings reading THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN by Michael Moorcock, had I done it on a weekend without interruption it would have been one sitting.

some of the Moorcock books are surprisingly short. I know I've read a few of his in less than a few days too.

Just finished Agatha Cristie's Evil Under the Sun yesterday afternoon. Nice, quick, and entertaining Sunday read.
