Great "one-sitting" books?

[Kathleen04]

I'm looking for some book recommmendations..something both captivating enough and short enough that is readable in one sitting. :)

1. Here are three:

The Virgin Suicied by Jeffery Euginedes, a great fiction book, and The Kidnapper by Robert Bloch.

For non-fiction, Jane Austen; The World of Her Novels by Deidre Le Faye

2. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

My ass was sore, but I read it in one sitting.

5. Gotta admit

that I haven't actually read any of the Harry Potter books. :blush:

7. In that case

the first one isn't too long.

10. I had to get up and walk around a bit

during HBP.

13. I tris but I was staying on a 37 foot sailboat

and the water was too cold to swim in... so I just lived with the cramp. It was worth both parts. Sitting and staying

17. ah yes

I was sitting under a tree.

Sat under a tree for HBP too.

Good times, good times.

3. The Dreyfuss Affair: A love story

a great little story about a gay romance between two major-league infielders. Very light, very funny, and pretty short.

4. My Pet Goat

book to read while sloughing off on one's responsibilities. ;)

18. Cannery Row

“Cannery row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, nostalgia, a dream.”

Thus starts my favorite single sitting book.
