Question

what book did you love so much you could not put it down?

i want to know if you read it all at once, only breaking for bathroom and food...

Answer 1

Twilight and New Moon. i finished each book in 2 days. i only put it down to us the bathroom, eat, watch some TV, go on the computer and sleep.

Answer 2

In the past few years I've been reading mostly non-fiction which while interesting, isn't likely to hold you spellbound. There have been some fiction authors that I like that I would try to make more time for: Anita Shreve and Ann Tyler are two examples. I found I couldn't put down Phillipa Gregory's English historical fiction books (The Other Boleyn Girl, Earthly Joys. I didn't especially like the Wildacre--?sp--trilogy because of the subject matter). Edward Rutherford writes wonderful books about England--London, The Forest, Sarum among others--and I usually avoid English settings like the plague! Because of the length of some of these I had to take breaks.

There were two I read non-stop--even taking it with me to the bathroom, and I made my husband fix meals so I could keep reading!--were Cujo by Stephen King (a long time ago) and Jennifer's Letters to Nicholas by James Patterson. I don't usually like scary books (too much of an over-active imagination, but that one was great--until my Great Dane came up unnoticed at the bottom of my bed and licked my bare foot causing me to scream bloody murder and wake up my small son). I was waiting for a friend at her doctor's appt. and picked up her copy of the Patterson book. She never got it back. I "knew" what the ending would be, but I was not prepared for the twist that came with it. I pride myself on not crying, but I was reduced to tears--and loved every single teardrop.

Answer 3

There's been a few:

Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
The Visitation by Frank Peretti
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

Though I had to take breaks for more than bathroom and meals, since I have other responsibilities. I did read these books in every spare moment during my other responsibilities and stayed up late reading them.

Answer 4

Watership Down, by Richard Adams.
Many Lives, Many Masters, by Brian Weiss (non-fiction)

Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving
Lady Chatterly's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence
The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien

I could go on, but I'll stop here.

Answer 5

The Harry Poter series, especially Deathly Hallows. Also Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz and Jemima J by Jane Green

Answer 6

Answer 7

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Tolkien
Bagombo Snuff Box [Short Stories], Kurt Vonnegut
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
several other books [generally with anything good I don't stop till I finish, these are just great books :D]

Answer 8

The Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy
Diary of A Teenage Girl

Answer 9

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Just about any book that interests me like the Oz series or Bridge to Terabithia. Some of those I would go back and read again and again.

Answer 10

JODI PICOULT BOOKS! She has a very different sense of writing. She writes in paragraphs and sections them off into different times within the story. Its very enticing and hard to put down once you've stopped. And even then, you constantly think about her plots and characters.

Try My Sisters Keeper, Salem Falls, or The Pact*

Answer 11

Chuck Swindoll The Tale of the Tardy Oxcart
