What is the longest book you ever read in one sitting?
I am sure I have read a longer book in one sitting but the only one that comes to mind right now is "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"

1. same and siddhartha.
I get addicted to books occasionally, and have spent many a full day forgetting to eat, taking it with me to the bathroom, and not answering the phone, so I may read my ass off.

Hasn't happened in a very long time, but I love finding those gems.

2. The DaVinci Code
I started it one morning before class, and ended up skipping all my classes, sitting on a bench on the Oval (a grassy area in front of the library), and finished it.

5. I can't really remember
I read every day, but I think Harry Potter I read through, good mysteries also, i.e. Ian Rankin or Elisabeth George.
