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.

Re: I Can't Believe . . .
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.

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 . . . :-)
