Deal of a Lifetime-Frederik Backman, it was a fun read while I was waiting for my car to get diagnosed. It is about 85 pages.

I read “Make Your Bed” by Admiral William Mcraven in about a day, but it was just a little over 100 pages. I have never finished a 200+ page book in one day, even if it’s really engaging.

The only book I ever finished in a single day was “The Sum of All Fears” by Tom Clancy. Not literature but for some reason I got really engaged in the story. It was in the pre-internet days.. since then it is so hard to find that kind of immersion.
