That special moment

[Frodo]

Hi Everyone.

I'm Dave from Kent.

Those special moments in a book. You know whatever happens, however tight for time, you must just finish the end of the page. To find out what happens. It wont be the last time, I am sure, when I have missed my get off stop on the bus. Sailed on, wrapped in the book. My recent speical moment, happened today. Reading a white knuckle thriller, murder mystery, NOW YOU SEE ME, by SJ Bolton. DC Lacey Flint, just has to open the back door of her house. And you are desperately trying to tell her not to. She has to step out into the dark garden. To find the source of the strange music, emanating from the bottom of the garden.

 

That was mine, what's your's please. Be so interested to know. :-)

Dave.

I think mine was years ago, reading Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris, can't remember exactly what happened but it was the scene in the basement... That was my first proper grown up book and really got me into reading adult books.

I've had a few books that made me feel like this, although I've never missed my bus stop since reading while moving makes me feel sick

 

The ones that came to mind straight away were Carlos Ruiz Zaphon's 'The Shadow of the Wind' and Pullman's 'The Amber Spyglass'.

I've had a few... Donna Tartt's Secret History - everything was falling apart and I simply couldn't abandon those characters, had to stick around - and more recently, Elizabeth Kostova's The Swan Thieves - two chapters in, I was hooked and decided to stay up and finish it, afteral, who needs sleep when you have a good book.

In literature it's called the culmination, I guess. I had this moment when I was reading Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I was riding on a bus and when I got to the moment when Santiago realized where his treasure really was hidden I had this dumb expression on my face, this stupid smile and I couldn't help myself I shed a tear. Some people looked at me probably thinking "what's wrong with that girl?".

I drink a cup of tea and read a little before I leave the house. And the better the book the longer it takes to finish the tea.

There are some books which are so good to read that I simply can't stop.

I read in bed a lot, and I've had a few bleary morning caused by reading "just one more page/chapter". The last two Harry Potters stick out as being particularily bad for that!

I do it all the time, you frequently find me up til about 2 or 3 on a week night when I have to get up for work, in the morning I read in bed before getting up for work, usually its after I have made my breakfast (which I have in bed) then suddenly realise its 8.25 and I need to be in the office by 9am and still haven't dried my hair!

I had a moment like that last night. I'm reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I was so tired and had to get up for work really early the next morning but I really had to see what happened next

Mine was probably the da Vinci code. I read a few nights away. That was one book I just had to finish ASAP because I needed to know how it ended. Usually I CAN put a book away.
