What's the longest book you've finished in one go?

What's the longest book you've finished in one go?

What, in a day? Or just cover to cover without abandoning it intermittently? Because the first one, nothing. I can't read that fast. But if the latter? The Old Testament.

The Prince. It was a hell of a night, I remember reading that thing at 3:00 a.m. Good times.

Short and easy but interesting.

The Sword of Truth. Took me seven hours.

nice get

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma I finished without even breaking to eat back when I was 11, haven't marathoned a book since

ANTHEM by annie R, it was fun

P R O U S T

I read Zettel's Traum one sitting.

No Longer Human. It was like looking in a mirror that only reflected my worst qualities.

>What, in a day? Or just cover to cover without abandoning it intermittently?
Reading continually without losing the feel of the movel .

>book
does homestuck count

TREASURE ISLAND on like a two hour plane ride.

I always feel like I don’t remember as well when I read for more than two or so hours straight. When I got to page 600 or so of INFINITE JEST I started reading 100 pages at a time and that took a good while. Great times, though. Fuck the haters - read it.

>except for that gay tennis game that lasts 40 pages
>and the stupid intercontinental war game

A Single Man

I marathoned The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye because I procrastinated in high school. Got A's in the classes too. Did it with Shane in middle school. Haven't done it since but I did a fairly quick runthrough of the first four Dark Tower novels. King is the worst writer of all time.

The 6th Harry Potter, can't remember which one but I read it surprisingly fast
Probably had to do with the fact that the first one I actually had to wait for its release

I read all of Pride and Prejudice the day before it was required for high school. I played the audiobook as I was reading to keep a pace/focus better. I think it was 8-9 hours

This is the only book that I've read in one sitting. I was in jail at the time so it was either this or stare at the wall.

iirc I read All Quiet on the Western Front in one sitting in tenth grade. I also might have read Never Let Me Go all at once but I'm not sure about that one

The Wave

I read like 10 Louis L'amour books in jail. It was either county for a few weeks or probation for 3 years. Ha.

I read both Invisible Cities and The Stranger in one sitting.

Did you even remember anything it now?

The Gates of Paradise, by Jerzy Andrzejewski.

Prometheus Bound

What landed you in prison? What was the library like there?

Breakfast of Champions

I think that's what I look like when I read

When I was 12 I spent an entire Sunday reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and finished it that same day. The next day I told other kids at school that I read the whole book in one day and nobody believed me.

I remember reading Animal Farm all in one night.

I read a 300+ reply thread on /b/ once.

doctor sax

brave new world in one sitting, not too difficult, but I don't usually do books in one; I like to move around alot.

I read The Mists of Avalon when I was about ten years old and only took breaks to eat lunch and dinner.
I don't remember the exact amount of pages, but I think the German version is 1000+ pages long.

Naked lunch. In one afternoon, like maybe 3-4 hours. Third time reading it. Taking notes for an assignment. Got A+.

Dune, with just a sleep break.

I think The Kyballion. I was (and still am to some degree) obsessed with Hermetic Philosophy.
Not very impressive but I cannot read at Bloom-esque speed, unfortunately.

I did it with Sentimental Education. I also think I read Demons in like 36 hours for that same class.

Recently I did it with 'And Then There Were None' (my first and only Agatha Christie, didn't really care for it). Ham on Rye as well.

The second novel in the earthsea cycle

The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum
