I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in one weekend when it was released.
This. Started reading at 8pm the day it was released and finished it….bleary-eyed and 100% satisfied the next morning.
I got it as a birthday gift and read it before the guests left.
Same.
The hobbit. I've read it 5 times.
You know its a good book when you can read it over and over
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Long book that covets millenia. Compelling stuff
Tuesdays with Morrie. I think I read that book in 2 days.
Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami
Harry Potter and the methods of rationality
Fahrenheit 451
I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in two days which is a record for me
Naked Lunch. I lierally read it in one sitting, about six hours. It is THE 20th century Great American Novel.
Rant by Chuck Palahniuk
the song of achilles
I’m about to leap into that one. Sounds like I should prep the snacks in advance.
I was in high school the first time I read Stephen King's It. I did almost nothing for three and a half days but read the shit out of that book.
Uncle Tom's Cabin that shit is dark
Paradise Lost
I'm just about to reread that one if I go in series order in the Harvard Classics, and I don't see why I won't because Volume 3 contains two prose works by Milton already: Areopagitica and the Tractate of Education. (It also contains Francis Bacon's Essays, Civil and Moral and The New Atlantis and, as its final selection, Thomas Browne's Religio Medici, which I'm currently reading.) Volume 4 is a collection of all of Milton's English-language poems, including Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained.
Song of Achilles by madeleine miller. I loved it, and even if you don’t like this particular version/retelling of the Iliad, you can’t deny it’s incredible writing.
I LOVED 1984
Metro 2033. Much better story than the video game had.
“The intelligent investor” by Benjamin Graham
Vector. Such a great book
Jason Lefebvre's classic "Too Much Glue."
I couldn’t stop reading Phantoms by Dean Koontz. I also was so terrified I couldn’t get out of bed.
The Frontiersman by Allan Eckert
My Name Is Red - Orhan Pamuk
The Wednesday Letters
Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton, and its sequel, Judas Unchained.
Great read for all you scifi fans
I think it took me just two days to read Running With Scissors it was so good
I definitely have read Slaughterhouse Five in one sitting more than once.
Accelerando by Charles Stross.
It is a mind bending examination of post-society that was simultaneously a nebulous slog from it's dense, excessive prose and a riveting, exhilarating chore that I couldn't stop digesting--with more sentient crustaceans than you expect.
It's aggressively anti-capitalist, which was an intriguing first foray of really challenging my preconceptions. It really shows how capitalism taken to it's extremes would be... A punishing nightmare. I'm still pro-capitalism, but the contrary ideas fused with the technological journey was ultimately engaging at that point in my life.
The Road-Cormac Mccarthy and So long and Thanks for All the Fish-Douglass Adams
The Hunger Games.
I stayed up until 2 am reading until I finally hit the hay and binged it until I finished it the following day.
The other two books took me about three days each.
‘Advances in Anti-Gravity’ by Ian Float.
The outsiders
Ahem these are finnish books but "Sirpale sielua" (a fragment of the soul) and "lasi enkeli" (glass angel)
Papillon by Henri Charrière. Read it in one afternoon while floating on a pool!
Educated by Tara Westover. First non textbook or audiobook i had pick up in years. Couldn't put it down. It was like on train wreck after another. Wonder book.
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
I read it in one sitting on a lazy Saturday while listening to the Metropolitan Opera on the radio and lazing in the porch swing. It was one of those idyllic spring days when everything seems to be calling to you to come outside... so I did. I took my father's old boom box outside, laid down on the porch swing, and read for a bit more than three hours.
The anarchists cookbook
The stand
Anything stephen king actually
The Mirror Visitor Quartet!
Mexican Gothic was pretty good.
I'll go first. For me it was to kill a mockingbird.
The Book of Negros I read it probably 10-15 years ago and still think about it daily. Such a powerful book
Fool on the Hill
Deaths End by Cixin Liu.
Read it and found out near the end that it's the third part of a trilogy.
The other two books, the three body problem and The dark forest are both amazing, but Deaths End is spectacular
Grasshopper jungle
