If a book doesn't do that to me, I find it very hard to read.
To be honest.
Particularly, the Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse) was truly addictive for me. 500+ page books, and I finished all of them in less than five days. (Not consecutively, but each one was completed in under five) I read Eclipse for at least six hours at a time -- until I had to eat, that is. ><;;
Most of the Harry Potter books were incredibly addictive, but I don't find Deathly Hallows to be that way. :|

that has happened to me with every book i have read, except the oddessy, it was very hard to understand, but i am 3 years older, and i am thinking of giving t another shot!!!

if you want a really good read, try inkheart, and inkspell, they're awsome!!! :D :D :D

Please try to avoid double posting as this is considered spam :) It would be better to edit your original post if you have more to say.

it was like that for me with Uglies by scott westerfeld. and also pretty much any book i've ever read by piers anthony. there always seems like there is something wrong in my life when i'm not reading one of his books...

Yeah!!! Only with mangas!! When they are romantic or it's about tragedy, I cainda forgot that I am in a store!! LOL!! <<3333

I do that a lot. especially Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind, and RA Salvatore. I used to with VC Andrews too, but I kinda grew out of the books.... just werent as good to me after so many different series of them.

Yeah, with most books I read I do this. If it's a short one I will almost always finish it in one day. If it's longer usually I read it from when I wake up until I go to sleep only getting up to eat or use the bathroom. I can usually finish a very long book in two-three days like this. I can only recall one book that I was able to put down. It was some adult literature, it was all about older-aged [maybe in their 40's] characters and their boring mid-life lives and boring romances. It was a terrible book, and it took me over a year to finally finish it :S

This is definitely one reason why I don't read all that much. If I took my time to go to the library more often my whole life would be CONSUMED with reading, and I already spend most of my time on the computer! ^-^;

I've had that happen to me many times. Which leads me to staying up until 2 or 3 am finishing the book. That happened with Jim Butcher's Furies of Calderon. It was really hard to put the last book down as well, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next in the Codex Alera series.
There are three books in the series so far;
Furies of Calderon
Academ's Fury
Cursor's Fury

I find that happens a lot with me. The set of books that I find the hardest to put down is the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

I absolutely adored Ella Enchanted, Fariest, and the rewritten version of certain fairy tales. You should also try out "Two Princesses of Bamarre".
That's also by Gail Carson Levine. It's about two princesses that are sisters. One shy, and one fierce. It has romance and fantasy in it.

I get that way when I read Stephen King. I could read and re-read all of his works.

Oh, and with Edgar Allen Poe.

I couldn't put down Isaac Asimov's The Ugly Little boy. If you enjoy speculative and plausible science fiction, I have to recommend it. Oh, and The Once and Future King by T.H. White and Jurassic Park by Micheal Crichton. Those are some great books.

yes.... YESYESYES!!! I haven't read ella enchanted actually, I've just seen the film... And it's my favourtie!! I love it. It's so warm and cozy!!=) Not being able to put a book down happens to me all the time... Everyone I know thinks I'm hopless when I've start reading a book... Because when I'm reading something, there's nothing more to me than that book. I completely zone out. It almost goes to the extent that I don't eat, lol! I just lie in my bed in my pyjamas the whole day and read... Well I'm a bit extreme=) But I just love reading so much...<3

Yeah, that's happened to me before. I was bringing a book to school to read, and I was only going to read the first chapter at home but ended up reading the whole thing. But I can't remember the name of it.

ohmygod. What an awesome thread xD

Terry pratchett, Tamora Pierce, ella enchanted and the like.
Twilight, New moon.
Searching for Alaska.. And another random good books :D

But yes, I love reading books that make you keep reading. ^_^

For One More Day and The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I almost cried reading those, and I'm a self-proclaimed manly man. I highly suggest it. But back to your question, not really. I can pick up where I left off because most books aren't that exciting. I've tried to read Dracula and Door to December at the same time as a school project- to see if contemporary still holds the formula that old writing does, and I can't seem to pick them up.

Vonnegut. <3
