Was there ever a book...
Was there ever a book for you, that was sooooooo good but took you soooo long to finish because you just didn't want to get to the end of it???

Yean if it's really good, I lose myself in it.
I'm glad to have found, today, a book I had misplaced for quite some time. It's not even mine...

Me too dicksbro. I only read on holiday, as otherwise I won't get anything else done at all. I'm totally anti-social about it and after I've finished it, I then miss it and wish that I'd not read it so fast.

Yeah, if I get really engrossed in a book I'm thru it very quickly as well.
Now I did just recently finish a book that I enjoyed very, very much but it took me nearly five months to complete. It was very descriptive (and over 700 pages if I recall) so I took my sweet time with it but I was doing more thinking and introspection while reading it that I normally would do. It was one of the better works I've ever read though.

Steven King's The Tommyknockers...though I didn't read it slow. I just never wanted it to end.

I felt like that about Hearts in Atlantis but that book had sentimental value as well.

Bourne Ultimatum gets so deeply involved in describing his thought process that I end up with a headache.
I devour books at a rate of about two a week, and I can't read a chapter in that book without getting pissed woozy.

I think I got bored of Steven King, but I haven't read anything of his in some time, so maybe I should give him another chance (The Stand was his best, Tommyknockers was a page turner). Youger I'd read most of his books. I'm addicted to Iain Banks right now, the best Sci Fi I've found, and his fiction is deliciously twisted. Clive barker makes Steven King look like harry potter, (actually that's a bad comparison, I still haven't read a single Harry potter book), his horror is horrific, and his fantasy is twisted. The Great and Secret show was incredible.
Now I'm exited to have found a misplaced copy of My Ishmael...
Oh and I also found 'A short History of Nearly Everything, we'll see how I do with that.
