What are some books you absolutely positively couldn't put down?

[mreilly]

I'm currently reading "The Terror" by Dan Simmons (19th century Arctic expedition goes horribly wrong) and I think it is by far the best book I've read in a long time; maybe ever. I have the advantage of reading it on my Blackberry so I've been able to get through half of it in far less time than if I had to lug the actual hard copy around. It's nice to be able to read a few pages at odd moments throughout the day such as waiting for an elevator or while in line at the post office.

It's also nice to be totally addicted to a book, and I know I'll be depressed when I reach the end. I'd like to keep that "have to find out what happens next" theme going - anyone know of any good thriller/mystery/supernatural/adventure books they couldn't let go of until the final page?

[fudge stripe cookays]

1. "Loving Frank"

About Frank Lloyd Wright's relationship with his mistress, and her eventual murder by a crazed servant at Spring Green in the early part of the century.

As both a genealogist obsessed with history AND an art history major (including architecture), I finished it in about 3 days.

[WinkyDink]

87. "Helter-Skelter"; "The Making of the President 1960" (back in the day, people!); "One Day in Sep-

tember" (Simon Reeve); "Fatal Vision"; "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail"; "Kon-Tiki".

[mainegreen]

2. Foucault's Pendulum.

Animal Farm.
Anything by Phillip K Dick.
Guns, Germs and Steel.
When Life Nearly Died (A history and theory on the Permian Extinction Event)
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever (read them all in one week on vacation. A lot of reading, there)

[Orrex]

63. One caution about Foucault's Pendulum

After reading it, it's impossible not to mock people who consider The Da Vinci Code an intellectual thriller.

Love that book. I've read it at least four times, and every time it has something new for me. Go, Umberto!

[Rabrrrrrr]

80. Dude, you don't have to read Foucault to mock the Da Vinci Code people...

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

78. That one I could put down.

Interesting book.

There are sections that were highly exciting page-turners, and sections I couldn't stay awake through. Very inconsistent.

[charlie and algernon]

3. Stephen King's Cell

Finished it in a couple days. Great book about a sudden Zombie apocolypse in Boston.

[intheflow]

50. Mine was King's Misery.

Read the first chapter or two the first night before going to bed. The second night I read a few more chapters, turned out the light and tried to sleep--I had a final exam the next morning. But what I read was too scary, I had to turn the light back on to read a little more to asuage my fear. I tried shutting off the lights a few more times, but 6am found me reading the end of the book--just two hours before my final. I have no recollection whatsoever about how I did on that final, but I will never forget how I physically (psychologically) felt every torture Annie inflicted on Paul.
:scared:

[AlCzervik]

4. Fastnet Force 10, Close to Shore and many others. Currently i'm reading "the Historian"

and i'm really trying to make it last, i also prefer to read it during daylight hours cuz it's scary.

[Inspired]

101. I read the Historian a couple of years ago and loved it!

[skygazer]

5. American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Tremendous book. One of the best I've ever read.

The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak. Supposed to be for young adults but far more depth than you'd expect and I honestly felt it was a very adult book. Read that on a drive across the country - I would pick it up and read while I was putting gas in the car, or stopped at a light. Compulsively good.

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Ah Neil....American Gods is a magnificent piece...

He's such a wonderful author. :)

[FloridaJudy]

21. Amen!

Gaiman is an American God! That one's on my top ten list.

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Except he's a Brit

:P

[FloridaJudy]

38. Actually, he's bi-Continental

And even if he's a Brit, I want to adopt him.

[bicentennial_baby]

39. Oh, I know, I just meant by origin

:)

[Danger Mouse]

6. 'The Great Gatsby' 'Slaughterhouse-5' 'Deathly Hallows'...many others, honestly.

Oh yeah, edit to add 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' to that...just finished it yesterday.

[elshiva]

27. Have you read all the Hitchhiker Books?

My goodness they are great.

When I was little, it was almost anything by Roald Dahl but especially "Matilda."

"Pornography" by Andrea Dworkin

"Rape Against Our Will" by Susan Brownmiller

"The Lesbian Heresy" by Sheila Jeffries, actually anything by her, another great one is "Anticlimax"

Anything by Mary Daly

[Danger Mouse]

28. Nope, I just started book 2.

It's fantastic stuff. I got the complete guide for 5 bucks at a used book store. Nice, eh? :D

[elshiva]

31. Does it have all five books in the trilogy?

:)

[Danger Mouse]

34. Yeah.

:D

[elshiva]

40. GREAT!

:) You really know where your towel is.

[southpaw]

75. Yep... a real hoopy frood.

For my last birthday, my wife bought me a '42' t-shirt!

[callous taoboy]

109. Do you have your towel?

[moriah]

49. The Great Gatsby???

"So, Timmy, in Chapter 7, can you tell me what kind of car did Gatsby drive?"

[RadiationTherapy]

68. Really!? There are 2 Great Gatsby's?

The one I read SUUUUGGGGGED.

[Jade Fox]

96. lol.....

[MadrasT]

7. Infinite Jest

by David Foster Wallace. It was so odd that I couldn't stop reading it. It's huge, too... I was completely worthless for a couple of days because I couldn't put it down.

Which is kind of ironic, given the subject matter.

[cemaphonic]

46. Heh, I think I read about a half-dozen other books between the time I started and finished that book

But you're right - there was something very compelling about it. I would read a huge chunk all at once, but then have to spend my next reading session on something else.

[MonkeyFunk]

48. Ugh

I put it down. In fact, I THREW it down. Unreadable, I thought.

[MadrasT]

82. It's an unusual book

My mother and my husband - both voracious readers - both read it (or I should say "started reading it") because I was so fascinated with it.

My mother adored it and had the same reaction I did. (Basic reaction - "Wow, what a weird, great book, I couldn't put it down.")

My husband couldn't get through it. (Basic reaction - "Huh? I can't even read this. WTF?")

I think it might be the kind of book you either love or hate...

[MJW]

102. me too Monkey Funk

It has been on my bookshelf unread for several years. I might try again--and I might not

[MJW]

103. dupe

how'd THAT happen?

[timtom]

81. I just ordered a used hardback copy from Amazon

for $2.04 based on your recommendation.

[MadrasT]

83. Well... for $2.04 you can't really go wrong, no?

:-) I hope you enjoy it. It is definitely "different"!

[timtom]

89. One reviewer invoked the names

Barth and Pynchon and I knew I had to read the damn thing. The folks who commented on Amazon.com truly either hate it or love it. There seems to be no middle ground.

[av8rdave]

8. East of Eden (Steinbeck)

Also

Mother Night (Vonnegut)
Angela's Ashes (McCourt)
The High and the Mighty (Gann)

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. The Partly Cloudy Patriot, Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell

and Team of Rivals by Doris Goodwin Kearns.

[Va Lefty]

10. "The Stand" by Stephen King

I remember wanting to know what happened next, but not wanting the story to end. Also "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz.

[zanne]

62. "The Stand" put me in another world.

I was mesmerized by it. Stephen King went downhill after that one, though.

[bigwillq]

11. Anything by John Lutz (nt)

[harmonicon]

12. Mason & Dixon, by Thomas Pynchon

It's one of the greatest books I've ever read, by a fantastic author. It's a quasi-sci fi novel about marking out the Mason/Dixon line.

[KamaAina]

13. "A Charge to Keep" by George W. Bush

How could I put it down when I wouldn't pick it up with a ten-foot pole in the first place? :shrug:

[Mad_Dem_X]

74. !

:spray:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

14. I loved 'The Terror'

I have the book and I don't usually buy fiction hardcovers. Hard to put down, didn't want it to end.

[geomon666]

15. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

Totally addicted to that world.

[TZ]

67. ooh thats a great series

Not a big Stephen King fan..but that series is a masterpiece..unique blending of sci-fi/fantasy/horror.

[Mad_Dem_X]

76. What did you think of the ending?

It totally blew my mind. I was mad at first, but then I realized, no matter how he ended it, it was bound to upset people. Now I think it's a perfect ending.

[geomon666]

88. I think it was perfect too.

When it first leaked I was kind of disappointed but when I read it, it fit perfectly.

[mokawanis]

16. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and

War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning - Chris Hedges
The Grizzly Years - Doug Peacock
Into Thin Air - John Krakauer
Dispatches - Michael Herr

[behave]

18. A Prayer For Owen Meany was a very good read.

[GCP]

57. A Prayer For Owen Meany is my all-time favorite book

I loved Owen - and hated the book to end.

[mokawanis]

72. Irving at his best

I remember getting the near the end of the book and being so caught up in it that I had to force myself to slow down and not rush through the last pages.

[GCP]

85. I cried buckets at the end

Owen was a really great character.

[Minimus]

17. The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers

[Ivan Sputnik]

19. A classic....

"The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins -- the original page-turner.

[Release The Hounds]

22. In Cold Blood

[FloridaJudy]

23. *Snowcrash*

Positively brilliant. Stephenson is a blooming genius, though Crytonomicon was heavy going.

Most recently, Peony in Love by Lisa See. Who knew anorexia was prevalent during the Qing Dynasty, and that ghosts could continue to suffer from it? And that one could come to care about what became of them?

Oh, and War and Peace, but that was only because I spilled super-glue on the cover. Every few years I give Tolstoy another chance, and inevitably wind up flinging his books against the wall three quarters of the way through. His characters are such spoiled twits!

[Pierre.Suave]

24. The book I am reading right now is GREAT

I suggest everyone read it, it is:

Moyers On Democracy, by obviously, Bill Moyers.

fantastic book, worth buying it or getting it from the library, but read it!

[nytemare]

25. "Billions and Billions" by Carl Sagan.

Self reflection by him, during his illness which eventually killed him. Sad, and beautiful.

[BlueIris]

26. "Smilla's Sense of Snow," Valerie Martin's "Property," and ol' Alice Hoffman's "Seventh Heaven."

Don't read any of these books before you have anything of important to do.

[yellowdogintexas]

29. The Godfather, The entire 'Song of Ice and Fire' series

and many others that I just can't think of right this many

[BrotherBuzz]

30. The entire Travis McGee Series

By John D. MacDonald. I spent more time tracking down the last few titles of the 21 book series than actually reading them.

[XemaSab]

33. Harry Potter, of course

The Golden Compass trilogy, The Sabbathday River, The Secret History (I got in trouble in math class for reading that one under the desk, and that was one of my favorite classes), The Stand, and recently "Lisey's Book" by Stephen King.
(I forgot No Night is Too Long.)

[Danger Mouse]

35. Forgot about 'His Dark Materials'...more great stuff.

[yellowdogintexas]

106. reading that now. but I am doing a lot of picking up and putting down. I like it though nt

[Dr. Strange]

36. I like Simmons.

My most recent "couldn't put down" was Harbingers by F. Paul Wilson. It's part of the Repairman Jack series. Fun books.

[Fleshdancer]

37. "The Red Tent", "Water for Elephants", Harry Potter and The Dark Series...

"Memoirs of a Geisha" and I'm a sucker for the Alex Delaware novels by Jonathan Kellerman.

[Fox Mulder]

41. The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.

Especially A Storm of Swords.

[yellowdogintexas]

107. waiting for A Dance With Dragons nt

[Fox Mulder]

118. No kidding.

I hope this isn't another five year wait. :eyes:

Apparently he's almost done writing it, but I'm not sure...

[loveable liberal]

42. Anything Ludlum and the Golden Compass series.

[Bennyboy]

43. Can't Find My Way Home...The history of drugs in America....

Ties drug and music together. From Harlem with Bird to Seattle with Cobain. Great stories about how music and drugs are intertwined and how thy changed culture and will continue to to do so.

[amitten]

44. The Talisman (Stephen King/Peter Straub). Excellent! n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

45. Ugg...I can't tell you. I would be TS'd IMMEDIATELY.

[MonkeyFunk]

47. "In Cold Blood" and "Into Thin Air"

were two books I pretty much read in one sitting. Couldn't stop reading.

[MrCoffee]

69. Into Thin Air was completely riveting

I stayed up way too late for several nights to get through it.

[callous taoboy]

112. Agreed, as was "Into the Wild" though not as much.

[MonkeyFunk]

115. I agree

I enjoyed "Into the Wild", but it was nothing like "Into Thin Air".

I'd read the original article he wrote for ... I think?... "Outside" magazine. It was shortly after the incident, and it was noted that he was writing a book. The article was so interesting, that when I saw the book - the day it was published - I bought it. Started reading it that afternoon and stayed up all night with it. Just an astonishing story and unbelievably well-told.

[callous taoboy]

116. He really is a great writer. I like how he sparks up a doobie when

he's way out in the outback of AK reflecting on all of this. Powerful ending to that book.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry...

[Angleae]

52. It really depends

am I reading it or whacking someone/something with it?

[Robeson]

53. Kalki, by Gore Vidal, and too many to list by Arthur C. Clarke.

[Adsos Letter]

54. "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer

[mdmc]

55. Everything by Sedaris, Bukowski, or Hunter Thompson

:kick:

[RebelOne]

56. Anything by Stephen King or Dean Koontz n/t

[Sisaruus]

58. Winterson, Ehrlich, Kozol and...

The PowerBook, Gut Symetries, and Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson,
The Solace of Open Spaces amd A Match to the Heart by Gretel Ehrlich,
The Anthropology of Turquoise by Ellen Meloy,
anything by Jonathan Kozol,
Against Love by Laura Kipnis,
and (although I didn't expect this) I just started and can't put down Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love.

[Phillycat]

59. The Alienist was brilliant.

[ceile]

84. Angel of Darkness was great too. n/t

[callous taoboy]

114. Loved The Alienist. If you like books set in old NYC

You should check out the nonfiction book "Up in the Old Hotel" by Joseph Mitchell.

[bertha katzenengel]

60. _Beach Music_ by Pat Conroy

Fantastic.

[Paladin]

61. "In Cold Blood" and "Deliverance"

"In Cold Blood" is probably my favorite book, ever; certainly it's the book I've re-read the most. And I started reading "Deliverance" during finals time in college years ago---big mistake.....

[Rhiannon12866]

64. "Echoes" by Maeve Binchy.

I've read everything that this Irish writer has written, mostly stories about young people coming of age in Ireland during WWII, but this one, the characters and the evocative atmosphere of the place and time, just brought me there. I would just pick it up and, starting anyplace, start reading. :-)

[RedShoes]

65. "A Prayer for Owen Meany" and "I Know This Much is True"

both so good, and I could not put them down.

[raccoon]

66. EARTH ABIDES by George R. Stewart. Read it within 24 hours in 1971.

It's a post-apocalyptic novel, published in 1949.



Isherwood Williams, spending some time at his mountain cabin, survives a lethal plague. Returning with little else than an old hammer, he returns to find America depopulated. Settling with a few other survivors, and now nicknamed Ish, he seeks to re-establish American civilization through a small community living in the Berkeley Hills overlooking San Francisco Bay. While most of the survivors seek only to survive on a day to day basis, Ish tries to preserve the knowledge of the past, saving libraries, teaching his gifted but physically weak son all the knowledge and achievements of his civilization...



http://www.sfsite.com/11a/ea92.htm

[Scout]

70. The Lovely Bones, and many by Stephen King and Nevada Barr n/t

[myrna minx]

71. The Passion by Jeanette Winterson, Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco,

and Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.

[Mad_Dem_X]

73. "IT," by Stephen King, "A Clock Without Hands" by Guy Burt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

77. The Terror's a good one.

Be sure to check out Simmons' lesser known horror novels. "Winter of Night," "Summer of Night" stc.

[azmouse]

91. I loved Summer of Night.

Have you read any of Dan Simmons sci-fi novels?

I enjoyed Illium and Olympos. Haven't gotten to Hyperion yet but I hear it's his best series.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

93. Hyperion was very good.

I thought its sequels were increasingly pointless.

[southpaw]

79. Recently, "Dry" by Augusten Burroughs

Further back:

The Great Gatsby

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[Richardo]

86. I read "The Curious Incident of the Dog etc etc" in one afternoon

Part of that time I was working a register at Barnes and Noble.

[Xipe Totec]

90. Literally? The Ascent of Man - Jacob Bronowski

It was assigned reading for a course on the history and philosophy of chemistry.

I opened the book at 6:00PM, and closed it at 7:00AM the next morning.

I was enthralled and read it cover to cover without noticing the passage of time.

[azmouse]

92. I read The Terror last summer.

With all the snow and cold mentioned in the book I thought it would be a good break from the searing heat of Arizona!
The Terror has one of the best endings. It won't disappoint.

Try some of Simmons other novels too... like Summer of Night and his sci-fi novels. He's an excellent writer.

[mreilly]

98. Glad to hear about the ending

I'm halfway done and already planning the glowing review I'll write on Amazon. Somehow this book seems to reach me on every single level: I like the English, I like boats, I like the 19th century, and I like adventure stories and mystery/thrillers so it seems to have it all. What I really enjoy is the complexity of the events and the "LOST-like" (big fan of that show) atmosphere. I appreciate the comments everyone posted here - I am sure I can find some good stuff to pick up the slack after finishing "Terror." Will also check out Simmons' other works, definitely.

[bicentennial_baby]

100. Summer of Night is awesome

:thumbsup:

As is Carrion Comfort

[trackfan]

94. War and Peace was a much easier read than I thought it would be

when I picked it up. It's exceptionally good. It "gets" you within the first few pages.

[Greyskye]

95. "Stuck on You" by Cant Leggoh

I just couldn't put it down!



:hide:

[PassingFair]

97. "Atonement" was the last great book I read.

...as far as recent books go, that is.

It strongly reminded me of my love for the works of Somerset Maugham.

[Resuscitated Ethics]

99. The White Hotel

Freud's patient, Vienna in the twenties
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Hotel

This book has stuck in my head for twenty years. I can't even imagine it on film, except perhaps overlapping Bergmans "Persona" with parts of "Shoah"


persona http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060827/
shoah http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090015/
the white hotel in production http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0835884/

Be warned

[MJW]

104. I am presently reading A Canticle for Leibowitz

by Walter M Miller, written in 1959 . I have read this book several times and it is a real page turner

[DeepBlueC]

105. White Man's Grave by Richard Dooling

Also The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux.

[DeepBlueC]

108. Confederacy of Dunces John Kennedy Toole

And Rohinton Mistry A Fine Balance

Confederacy of Dunces was hilarious I loved it

117. "The Last Of Her Kind"

by Sigrid Nunez.

[Broken_Hero]

119. The Black Company series by Glen Cook,

The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King, the Drizzt line by RA Salvatore(only through Passage to Dawn, everything past that is crap sadly)...

Needful Things by Stephen King

Without Remorse by Tom Clancy

Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice

Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice...

Quite a few books I couldn't put down actually, :)

[JTG of the PRB]

121. "The Da Vinci Code"

Not because it was the best book ever written (though I was thoroughly entertained), but because it was like a literary version of "24", a show I absolutely adore. Each chapter was like a cliffhanger, and I just had to find out what happened next. I read that book in about three days.

[flvegan]

122. "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" by Charles M. Schulz

[HEyHEY]

123. Pappillon
