The quickest I’ve ever read a book. 16:22 - Sep 23 with 1060 viewsMattinLondon

Just finished reading ‘Next to Heaven’ by James Frey which I managed to read in one day which is remarkable as I’m a very slow reader.

Obviously it won’t be for everyone but it’s very good and I recommend it.

Anyway, what’s the quickest that you’ve read a book?

Considering it is always on at Christmas I only actually seen it from start to finish once and that last Christmas.

Have to admit I wasn’t expecting that scene with Mrs Snowman - I won’t ever be able to look at snowballs in the same way ever again.

This book is really quick to read, I imagine it could be done in a day if you have nothing better to do:

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Couple of days. Had two days lazing on a beach in the middle of an active holiday.
A A Gill Is Further Away. Fascinating travel memoirs from the author.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I got through the Very Hungry Caterpillar quite quickly

Ploughed through Keith Richards book in about 3 days while on holiday

Do you prefer Kindle or actual book?

Is the book better than the movie?

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett. I felt like I'd found my people when i read that book. Ploughed through it then re-read it a week later.

I hate read One Day in one day.

I read Lord Of The Rings in four days when I was 12. One of those days I was unwell.

It really depends on the book. I have very few abilities, but I can read quickly and still read a lot (a useful skill in work back in the day) so after 10 days in Mauritius I’ve read nine books and am half way through the next.

I read Lord of the Rings at about the same age probably over 2 weeks on a beach holiday. I confess that a lot of it was above my head at that age.

Vaguely serious answer to this: Into Thin Air by John Krakauer. I more or less ruined a holiday by refusing to look up from this book despite the vast expense my in-laws had shelled out on a steamer trip around Oregon. It was so, so good though.

Bill Bryson - A Walk In The Woods.

Cover to cover in one day on a rainy day on holiday in Wales.

Described in one review as 'the funniest travel book ever written'. I concur.

I read 'Screwjack' by Hunter S. Thompson in a couple of hours last week but it is only sixty eight pages of quite large type.

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut I read in a matter of hours on holiday a few years back as I was absolutely captivated by it. I adore Vonnegut's writing style and humour but appreciate it is not for everyone.
