pen_gruntI started Wool (Omnibus--Hugh Howey) and got halfway through it in a single night.
It's been kind of a long time since I've done that with a book. It's super-fun to be that sucked in. Very little Great Literature can get you to do that. It can be meaningful and good, but it doesn't always compel you to read hours upon hours without a break. I had to force myself to stop reading because it was 3 a.m. and I needed sleep.
It's not necessarily THE mark of a good book (though in this case it is); I found The DaVinci Code really impossible to put down, and that book was awful.
