Harry Potter and the: Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows

The only thing that kept me from finishing Goblet of Fire in one day was having other things to do right after I got it.

I'm a pretty quick reader. XD

Books I've read in the course of twenty-four hours include the final Harry Potter book (got it at the midnight release, then sat down and started reading immediately; I didn't even shower until about 5PM that afternoon...) and World War Z (it was too good to put down!)

Hmm, I have read one the harry potter books in one day (think it was 5 or 6). But not what I'm most proud of: I have read the entire Lord of the Rings saga in one day. Maaan, that day I really did nothing but read and eat a bit :p

Metal Gear Solid: The Novelization of the First Book. Finished it in six hours, took me two days to beat the PSX Game after I read it.

My Second best was The Perk of Being a Wallflower, finished in three days.

All Novels I can read in about a day. Holly Books and Technical Books take me longer.

I read the first two Scott Pilgrim books less than a day. In retrospect, I should have got them out a library rather than spending money on them...

I expect there's a few but I'm usually a slow reader (interest-wise, not speed-wise). The only book I've read in a day recently is "That's not my penguin!". It's a half-a-dozen page kids book with different penguins, each with a section of its anatomy expressing a unique material.

Read the 7th Harry Potter book the day it came out. Usually finish most of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in one day too.

J.A. Kerley's In The Blood.

Similarly, it only took me a day and 20 minutes to read his other book, Blood Brothers. Not much love on the Escapist for his books though I must admit, there surely has to be another Jack Kerley fan somewhere...
