“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.
Three body problem, book 3 – I opened it at 7pm and then it was 5am and I had finished a whole pack of salami and was 3/4 through the book.
It was well-paced and had good flow, and I had momentum from recently lining up a reread of book 1 and 2.
