I finished reading Order of the Phoenix about six and a half hours after I started, with a brief pause for breakfast tacos.

It's probably good I was far away from my computer because I was a mass of jangled emotions. Chainsmoked my way straight through the last couple of chapters and cried and cried. I went to bed at ten in the morning only after completely exhausting myself in the most demanding physical way I could stand.

Gods above. I can't even talk about it just yet.

You're already through it. I am rededicated to my task . . . off to read.

Get thee to a book! :D

I have a knack for reading fast, especially when enthralled. I read Crime & Punishment the first time in about a day and a half because I just couldn't stop.

Hi, I'm Sara, and I'm a Biblioholic.
I too read books faster than a speeding bullet.
I have sacrificed both food and sleep (and, somewhat less impressively, work) to finish a book before.
I am a frequent "all-night reader" of good books.
Unfortunately, my addiction has been thwarted by my current nanny position.

Might I add that since it did take me three days to read C&P, I am humbly declaring myself your servant, as the day-and-a-half timetable is one of the most impressive things I've ever heard!

Now, about War & Peace . . . :-)

*Jaw hitting the ground* I have been reading for the past 7 hours and I am only a little over a fourth of the way through! My muscles all hurt. If I hadn't taken what breaks i did take they would be screaming in agony!!

I think one of the thing I like most about reading you is your pure and utter passion about things. Like this.
