yeah i couldn't put the book down when i first read it and I read it until 2 am on a school day. the book was twilight <3

Blkmage Disaster 09-03-2009 03:30 AM

There are certain books that I want that I can't get right now. I really want to be immersed in them now. *sigh* Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, Septimus Heap by Angie Sage, and Swordpoint by Ellen Kushner. If it's mostly interesting to me, and I'm not bored with it, I will get like that. And not put it down, it's a good feeling. =3

I do this all the time I get so absorbed in a book so very fast that I just can't stop reading! I did it with the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, All of Gail Carson Levine's books that I have read thus far, the Harry Potter books, the Tamora Pierce books I've read, and just so many others I just can't name them all!

I'd have to say that I've done this with Rob Thurman's books, both the Cal Leandros series and the new book of hers. I've also done this with Karen Chance's books. Their writing was really good from the get go and I just got sucked into the story and I couldn't put it down, only when I really had to sleep did I put it down. Otherwise I would have kept reading well into the morning hours.

Larele 09-06-2009 03:57 AM

I have trouble putting most books down anyway. XD Most recently, DaVinciCode and Chronicles of Narnia. :3 I love to pick days and just sit on my bed with a book..just getting lost in there. ^^

..I didn't know Pride and Prejudice had a book! =o ..wow..I loved that movie, and I forgot to list it in favorite movies. D:

I did that with the Erin Hunter books. It was getting to the end of the school year and I wanted to get some more Accelerating Reader Points. They were points you got for reading a book then taking a quiz on and getting to get something special for them. Well, they were thin and I read fast, so I picked up a few.

Well, after I started, I haven't been able to stop unless I haven't been able to get it. Well, now I'm on Warriors A New Prophecy Moonrise.

virgil volsung 09-09-2009 05:56 AM

This happens to me alot, though most of the books this happens with are fantasy books. Some of the ones that I couldnt put down were, The Warriors Series by Erin Hunter, Unwound by Neal Shusterman, and Armageddon's Children by Terry Brooks. Though these are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. It also happens when Ive been waiting for a book to come out for a long time, the moment I get ahold of it, I wont put it down till im dont reading. Like the Harry Potter series.

Soriku The Ookami 09-13-2009 02:04 AM

Yeah, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I stayed up till three in the morning on a school night reading it.

Aralie 09-13-2009 04:04 PM

Yes, many many times. I often found that with the Harry Potter books, along with the Magyk book. Actually most books I read I love and find it hard to stop reading them.

dianakitsune 09-15-2009 09:55 PM

Harry Potter! But of course I always forced myself to put it down XD I've only finished a book in one day once and never doing it again. I hated it. I forgot almost everything that happened and had no time to live in the suspense of wanting to know what happened next. So I force myself to put books down no matter how good they are.

lightkanna 09-16-2009 03:22 AM

Haha, I get what you're talking about. I hate it when in the book it gets so good and the bell rings for me to change classes and I just don't want to fricken go! Ugh, It gets to me when that happens. xD

God-the-almighty 09-16-2009 03:38 AM

Yeah, it happens from time to time.

RisikaFox 09-20-2009 01:39 AM

Haha, it happens to me all the time, haha. I'm a bookaholic. I also have a tendency to complete blank out all that's going on around me, and even occasionally lose time while reading. xD

Ryuu Rikkai 09-20-2009 08:31 AM

Oh yeah. I've got a lot of those experiences. The most recent ones were from reading J.R. Tolkien's Children of Hurin, Eragon, the Everworld series by K.A. Applegate, and Dan Brown's Angels & Demons.

Featherbrook 09-21-2009 02:22 AM

The White Giraffe. Even though it was way below my reading level, I was obsessed. If I got bored, a second later I'd continue reading. And The Black Stallion. I loved that book. ^^ And The Diary of Anne Frank. But I only made it to the twelfth page. It mysteriously dissapeared. O_O

Eastriel 09-21-2009 02:20 PM

Even though I didn't really enjoy the book, twilight was one that I couldn't put down, I think the one I was glued to most was 'The riddles of Epsilon' by Christine Norton-Shaw.

Yes. A few weeks ago I started to read the first book in a trilogy. I read "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. I just could not put that book down. Very good book. <3

Dest1218 09-26-2009 07:43 PM

Lol almost every book i pick up is almost impossible for me to put down - I am a big book reader and i love reading

RAWRz 09-26-2009 09:18 PM

I was reading A Bend In the Road, and I couldn't put it down. I finished in...like hours. xD

coolazity1 09-27-2009 12:29 AM

I tend to do that a lot. But since I read really fast, it usually isn't too much of a problem for me, except when I decide to read instead of studying for a test or doing homework due the next day.

Kurohitori 09-27-2009 12:55 AM

Every book Ipick up is difficult to put down. I'm the kind of person who has to keep on reading to see what happens in the end. Unless it is a book I do not like.

Someone on this forum recommended Ella Enchanted, and I picked it up meaning to only read the first chapter before getting back to school work. Well, I couldn't stop reading it until I had finished. Then I read Fairest, which I absolutely adore now.

The same thing happened when I read Harry Potter for the first time. And Paladin of Souls.

I love books that do this to me.

So does anyone else have the same experience?


Yes, that happens to me alot. When I read Ella Enchanted for the first time I couldn't put it down. It was really good.

Robard 11-06-2009 06:50 PM

Oh my, yes. But that reaction seems to be more related to the type of book than how much I'm enjoying it--no matter how good they are, I don't tend to read books in one sitting that don't have a lot of action/comedy.

Last books I remember not being able to put down were The Lies of Locke Lamora and its sequel, and some Jasper Fforde novels.
