    "My dad handed it to me at 9 p.m. saying 'I think you’ll like this.' I put it down 400 pages in only because it was now 4:30 a.m., and my eyes were glazing over and skipping paragraphs. I finished it the next day because I couldn’t do anything else until I’d gotten the resolution." —archergwen

    2. Watership Down by Richard Adams

    "Many years ago when I first started working, I didn't have a car and took the underground to work. For a few weeks, I chose One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez to read on the way there and back.

    The last couple of chapters were so captivating, I started reading them one morning on the tube to work, but I just couldn't close the book when I got to my station, so I carried on reading while walking in the station, on the street, in the elevator, in the corridors, then sat down at my desk and carried on reading for the next hour until I had finished the book. I knew I was possessed by the book, but still couldn't let go." —nationcrafting

    4. Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
