| | | metamorphosis and the great gatsby are the only ones I can think of. I probably would have read catcher and the rye in one day but I started it at 2am at night. I left it at home when I went to uni the next day so I sat in a bookshop and read another copy.
it's kinda weird reading a story over different books now I think about it.

It was beautiful, at the end I wanted to die because I wanted to see what she had seen. It was that compelling. |

I read Memoirs of a Geisha almost straight through when I was at my mom's once. But it did take more than a day. |

How can anyone read Gone With the Wind in one week let alone one day..wtf?? wow |

| | | Most recently, Coraline by Neil Gaiman.
My boyfriend lent it to me. It's a modern fairy tale for kids and adults, about 160 pages. Crit for it said that it was a "masterpiece", "terrifying" and that it would finally nudge Alice In Wonderland out of its place.
It was very good, but I didn't find it as enchanting as I'd hoped. It's kind of haunting, though, very pretty.
Recommended.
