What’s a book so good that you read it in one day?
One of those rare gems that completely pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages until, before you know it, you've finished it in a single day. What book did that for you?"
Orbital by Samantha Harvey. Very beautiful, high quality, literary writing, but short.
A 24 hour period on the ISS from the perspective of the astronauts. Their musings on the world we live on.

I recently read A Clockwork Orange in one day. I was invested in the story and really wanted to know how it was going to end.

A Prayer For Owen Meany. Read it in one day and immediately – did not even close the book – reread it. But slower.

Most books, if they grab me, will be demolished within the first day. Sometimes if I’m really enjoying it I will try to hold off a few chapters for later but if I start reading a good book I tend to just hammer through it.

I stayed up all night to finish Blindness by Saramago. Incredible book.
