Somewhat, but I get tired of reading and usually rent the movie.

You know what the retired librarian is gonna say; many! :) The ones that really stick out in my head are: Swan Song by Robert McCammon Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey Everything that Richard Bach has written The Jack Tales and The Grandfather Tales by Richard Chase Ringworld by Larry Niven

Oh, there have been many. I've always loved to read, and my first 2 jobs were at book stores. I've gotten to where I don't get around to reading as much anymore. The last couple I couldn't put down were both by Dan Brown..."The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons"

Many books interst me that way. If I have to put it down, I can't wait to get back to it.
-
Yep. Do I remember what book? Nope.

Oh yeah, in fact in the past 4 days I've been reading books 1-13 of the anita blake series. For the first 10 I didn't stop reading really, I stayed up for about 32 straight at first, went to sleep for 6 hours, read some more, then finally got some sleep. Books are my addiction. For the last 3 books I've been taking it slower though, the series has kind of gone down hill =/. Too much badly written sex and not enough shooting >_>.
-
That happened to me many times when I was younger.
-
Constantly!
-
I have found that most books I read do that to me. If I dont like the book I know it before Im done with the first chapter.
-
The Red Tent by Diamante. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. Beloved by Toni Morrison. The Kite Flyer. The Spirit Catches You and you Fall Down. These are just my most recent's.

Yes. Most of the military books that I've chosen to read. Five Families---by Selwyn Raab --Must read for anyone with an even a sprinkling of interest in organized crime.
-
All of my books-each one of them-have done for me
-
Yes, especially "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns". Oh and when "A Million Little Pieces" came out, I couldn't put it down. I think I read for 24 hours straight.
-
Two of them. For One More Day by Mitch Albom and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffery Zaslow. I can't explain the first book without ruining it. The second book is by a man who was a college professor. He developed metastized pancreatic cancer and gave one last lecture at his university about his philosphy of life.
-
I love pretty much anything by Cassie Edwards I read her complete "Savage" series. A great book that helped me alot and that I couldn't put down was "Anger" by Thich Nhat Hanh. I'm reading one now that a friend recommended, seems pretty good so far a nice self help book it's called "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. Anyway I have sooo many more. Great question:)

Yes, just once.

YES! Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. The movie was CRAPOLA, and his other books aren't that great, but that one just wouldn't let me go for two days. It was fantastic.
-
yes several times
-
There have been several. But I'm probably most infamous for reading the harry Potter books non-stop when I first bought them. I read the last one in like a day and a half. Now I wish I hadn't rushed through it so fast.
