I've read lots of whole books in one day, but I'll have to think back to remember which ones. (I did it all the time when I was younger.)

Tuesdays With Morrie, Illusions (the Adventures or a Reluctant Messiah) by Richard Adams, Dinner with a Stranger. Those are the only 3 I can recall other than every new issue of Spiderman back in the 60's.

Not only have a read a whole book in one day, I've often read several book in the same day. Too many to list or remember.

Oh man...I used to do that all the time. So many, I couldn't name them. I used to even read 2 books in a day on a regular basis. Of course that was when I had a whole lot more time on my hands than I do now. Now it takes me a month to get through a novel unless I'm on summer break.

I remember reading "This Present Darkness" in one day. And that's a large book!
Other, shorter books I've read in one day, too. Too many to mention.

I've done that many times, but the first time was the book Cougar when I was in third grade. It was about a mother cougar trying to help her cubs survive. It was 35 pages and I read it in an hour. It was a chapter book and I was so totally amazed that I could read an entire 'big' book in an hour. So I did it several times in a row.
I think I read The Historian in 2 days. I think that's up near 800 pages. I would have finished it in a day but dh started to get jealous that I could lie on the couch (even though I was so sick). I had to put it down. Ditto for Outlander (same illness...lol).

Several times.
I read The Last Lecture in a matter of a few hours. Each of the Harry Potter series were read in a matter of hours - some 4 or 5 hours other 10 to 12 hours.
My dd has read so many books in a matter of a few hours, that I can't even begin to count. It's not unusual for her to pick up a book at the library and have it completely read by the time we get home which is rarely more then 30 minutes. She read the first two Harry Potter books in a matter of 24 hours.
Blessings,
Garsy

Yes. I have no idea how many. But a few that come to mind are Profiles in Courage, The Peter Principle, Future Shock, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, The Second Coming, Dove and a bunch of other stuff that I don't even remember.

I know a few people who have that illness. LOL!

Sandy,
You've got my respect. I read that with a pen and piece of paper beside me so I could keep track of the characters.

I've done this many times! When I first discovered the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series I stayed home from work once to read book 5 (IIRC).

Same here. If the books grips me hard enough, I can average 100 pages/hr.
I've read a lot of books in one day. Too many to count. I started doing that as a kiddo. My parents challenged me to read particular books, so I read The Hiding Place and the autobiography of Joni Erickson Tada when I was around 7-8 years old, among other books that were beyond my years. I'm glad my parents encouraged that. We lived right across the street from the library and I was homeschooled, so I would go and get a stack of books (usually 4 at a time) and take them back within 3 days and get four more.
Now that I'm a SAHM I have more time to read again. I can usually finish one book in 2 evenings, after everyone has gone to bed.

The first book I ever did that with was Carrie by Stephen King. The last one to do that with was Gypsy Morph by Terry Brooks
