Obsessive reading happens to me. Often.
It is hard to stop with Harry Potter, anything by meg Cabot and books like Eragon and the Septimus Heap series. But what I really want is a book I love so much that I HAVE TO put it down, so I can pace around my house and think about what I've read. To give myself time to make this books last longer, to build my anticipation. Now THAT is a good book! This mostly happens to me when I read my favorite manga, Hellsing. However, I also do this often when I read books like The Da Vinci Code. With books like these, you make yourself stop so you can be free to absorb what you have read. |
Whenever I read a Laurell K. Hamilton book I have to read it in one sitting or within a couple of days. They're really addicting.

The last Harry Potter book was like that for me. I finished it in less than a week because once I picked it up, I had a really hard time putting it down, good thing it came out before school started, I would have had a very hard time getting up to get my kids out the door and go to work myself, I would find myself reading well in to the wee hours.
|
Francesca Lia Block's books do that to me.
|
Yesss!! Harry Potter and a few others <3 There's one book that did it to me and I should recommend to you, it's "Assassin's Apprentice" by Hobb (or was it Hoob?)! Wonderful way to keep reading for a while, it's SIX books along with 3 books in a side-story (but I didn't read that, don't like side-stories much.) |
i would have to suggest maximum ride! its so trilling! its by a james patterson.
6 mutant kids go out for the adventure of their lives.And one of them finds out that one of them is destined to save the world! i love. i own the series. first its: *an angel expiriment. #1 *schools out, for good (i think, i am not sure) #2 then *saving the world, and other extreme sports #3 i havent read twilight but my friends are begging me... now i have to wait till its my turn to get my hands on that book! |

Harry Potter was like that for me. Also, Eragon, the Sano Ichiro novels by Laura Joh Rowland, Janet Evanovich's books. |
I couldn't put Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows down after I finally got it. I had to ask my mom to pry the book from my hands so I wouldn't finish it all in a day. It still only lasted about a week. xD
|
That always happens to me with Ann Rice books And Chrisopher Moore Books. I don't know why but I simply love them all.

Happened to me with Harry Potter, oddly enough. Normally I'm really not into children's fiction, no matter how good it is, but after watching the first four movies and six books being out I figured I'd give the first book a shot. I was enamoured with the intricacy of the Potterverse as shown in the movies. I thought the first book was okay and so I read the second and third straight after it. And then the fourth, fifth and sixth. :lol: I couldn't stop; that world was pulling me in.
And this for someone who generally is regarded as a book freak who reads things no one else does. :oops: |
Ella Enchanted is a great book. I couldn't put it down either. I was practically crying near the end. at least it was a happy ending. As soon as I finished it I read it over again, two more times. I love that book.
I also like Harry Potter. I own all the books in the series and I've read them a multiple amount of times. Though I hate the Films. Especially after what they did to my favourite and wonderful Fourth book. They missed everything out! I finished the last book that day. It was wonderfull. Then I read it again and again. I also like Eragon and Eldest. I own both of those too. I can't wait for the last book. I want to see how it ends. Why does Christopher Paolini take so long to write books? I want to read Twilight. Everyone I know who's read it says it is really good. I can't find it anywhere though. It is driving me up the wall. Wow that was a long post. Well I would love to talk about even more books but I would be here all day. I love to read. |
I have that happen ALL THE TIME. X'D Specifically? The Harry Potter series (Finished Deathly Hallows in around six-eight hours, people! That's how serious I am about finishing books. *thumbs up*, ) Eragon and Eldest, the Artemis Fowl books, the Bartimaeus Trilogy (SWEET HOLY VIDEO GAMES I love that series. <3 <3 <3 <3 ), The Sight, and the Dragons of Pern books. :3 Basilisk by N.M. Browne was also a really good one.
I do love my books. x3 |
I had that with the book "My Life at Rose Red". :XD It's a great book. I picked it up at a second-hand bookstore and didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be a very addicting story.
When I was younger, the Darren Shan series completely swept me away too. :XD If I wasn't able to read at least a few pages per day, I was pissed. Same for the Animorphs books. |
Does it count if your mom doesn't let you put it down?
|
Oh, it happens all the time!
I rarely pull an all-night reading, because I will eventually fall asleep from reading. But most of the Harry Potter series. The Picture of Dorian Grey. The Hobbit. And the big book with a collection of books by R.A. Salvatore for the Forgotten Realms. There were a few others. Good books tend to keep my attention for a while and I normally finish within a day or two of reading them. |
Happens to me all the time, last time was with a book called
HTML Code:
confessions of a jane austen addict. |
I read Gone With the Wind in one day.
I was going on a camping trip so I took it along as car reading. When we got to the campsite I didn't want to stop reading it, so I set up my tent and sleeping bag and stayed in there until I was done. By then it was dinner time so I made it out in time for the first night's fire. If I hadn't been done I probably would have finished it by the light of a lantern. xD |
All the time! I'm so easily sucked into a good book, that sometimes it's difficult to resurface.
The book that did this to me most recently, was 'The Time Traveller's Wife'. I don't normally read romance novels, but this one put such an unusual twist on the genre, and it was written in such an engrossing, personal style that I couldn't stand to put it down until I'd read the last word. |
Almost all the books I read are like that with me. XD
Harry Potter series was honestly and sadly one of the best I hope she keeps on writing books. Oh and if online reading counts Sueric is the best for addictions I keep wanting more of her works. |
So a book that's unexpectedly a good read? Yeah, I had one of those.
I remembered borrowing "Watership Down" by Richard Adams from the library for a reading assignment. I regretted choosing this title instantly because the book was so thick but I was required to read so I did. I ended up not being able to put it down until it ended. Amazing stuff in there. I recommend it if you like the nitty-gritty side of fantasy. You don't even have to like rabbits. |
So does anyone else have the same experience? Yes, with Henry James books.
|
Well, some books by Mercedes Lackey (from the 500 Kingdoms, series) completely enthralled me. I am really such a sucker for fairy tales...
