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.

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

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

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
>>
>>10010011
The Wave

>>10010613
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.

>>10010018
Did you even remember anything it now?

The Gates of Paradise, by Jerzy Andrzejewski.

Prometheus Bound

Breakfast of Champions

>>10010011
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.

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.
