There have been a few books that I’ve read on one sitting. One that springs to mind that almost nobody will know is called Talk Down by Brian Lecomber - about a woman who’s partner dies at the controls of a light aircraft and the rather rapid learning experience she goes through.
I read it from start to finish in one afternoon, simply couldn’t stop. Heart stopping excitement.
(What are your favourites?)
I’ve just finished The Bees by Laline Paull. It was disturbing, unique, and totally original. Perspective was from a lowly worker bee in a hive (whaaaaat 
)
@DaveTMG That book sounds thrilling! I love a good heart-racer.
A lot of the books I couldn’t put down were read as a child/ teen. Eg Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, The Inheritance Cycle (Eragon), Lionboy, Jurassic Park.
I absolutely love fantasy/ sci-fi themes since it lends itself very well to the sort of immersion/ escapism that we often seek. I enjoy reading books by comedians and funny autobiographies. Joe Lycett’s “Parsnips, Buttered” is a fave and Geraldine (Everywhereist)'s book “All Over The Place” is excellent too. She has a really good article/recipe for pizza cinnamon rolls in response to Mario Batali’s sexual misconduct (non)apology letter here.
If you’re into finance… Recently finished Black Edge by Sheelah Kolhatkar, it’s the story about Steve Cohen and SAC Capital that the show Billions was based on, really good read.
On the sci-fi theme, I really enjoyed Body of Glass by Marge Piercy, it was remarkably prescient on the evolution of attack and defence on the internet.
If you want a light but good read Mark Watson Eleven or Hotel Alpha.
Got eleven on offer and it was so good I kept on reading and I immediately downloaded Hotel Alpha. I didn’t expect much from a comedian so maybe that’s why I enjoyed them so much.
I love a good light read, will check them out.
My guilty pleasure is PD James… love a good detective mystery!
I really like anything by John Grisham because it’s interesting yet light reading. I’ve read three of his books lately.
I’ll defo check out those books, comedians tend to write in witty/ self-deprecating humour which I really enjoy.
