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???

I'm reading Perfume that slowly. But not cause its sooooooooooo good but because its sooooooooooooooooo descriptive.

Nope, if the book is really good then I won't put it down.

Only my autobiography

:faint:

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...

I guess I'm more like Soda ... if I start a book and really like it ... I can't set it down.

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.

Read ahead, warp factor 5.

I would have to agree

I also cannot put a good book down.

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.

Have you ever read "Atlas Shrugged"?

For me, it's "Prince of Tides" - read it tons of times and I still hate finishing it. :(

Nope can't say that I have but I've never known you to steer me wrong in the past. :p

If I really like a book I read it all too fast and I have found in those cases that I don't remember it as well as when I take my time.

Btw, GreenChef... I have to agree with the bad comparison, considering Harry Potter is a character in a book. :p (But I understand what you mean.) Stephen King has appeared in a novel though, as himself even. I've heard Clive Barker is really good, though I have yet to give him a read. Any suggestions?
