Fiction that really hooks you

I've gotta say, over the past few uears the only books whixh have really gripped me and made me want to read more and more were nonfiction. Some of my favorites are stuff like Killers of the Flower Moon, The Wager, Devil in the White City, Into Thin Air, Heart of Darkness & King Leopold's Ghost, etc. I have found that whenever I try to get into very acclaimed fiction – stuff like the Goldfinch or Midnight's Children or whatever, I am never grabbed such that I actively want to keeo reading, in a physical sense. It's that my conscious mind wants to keep reading as I know the writing is great and I know the book is meant to be amazing, but I don't have this insatiable urge to press forward as I get when I read a book I'm really into. For me, without that urge it is achingly difficult to get through a book. When I can feel the passage of each and every page, it means my motivation is so low that it'd take many many months if not years to finish.

You might think that those two specific examples are just really long books which can be daunting. True, but other books I have read were not exactly short, I was into them, so I managed to work through that intimidation. I have tried shorter fictions that just didnt work for me. I suppose the last fiction I can remember loving so much was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and even that is almost bordering between genres, though I think technically we can just give it the fiction designation.

So, what are some fiction books that really grabbed you hard and made you constantly want to keep reading? Something that addicted you to it. I would love a book which just gave me an extremely unhealthy addiction to where I could not keep away from it. The way everyone was with Breaking Bad when it first came on Netflix 10 years ago, just episode after episode for hours on end till we finished and had to wait for more.
