But if I get into a book that's interesting, I'm often hooked until I finish it.
(And if anyone knows my habits with finishing things, I either burn through it in one go, or take an incredibly long time to get anything done!)
I think Fahrenheit 451 is still my favorite book overall.
I was made to read it for high school, and I ended up just falling in love with the premise, commentary and descriptions: everything about it, really.
I do want to go back and re-read War of the Worlds, too: I sat down to read it when stranded at the airport once, finished it in a single sitting, and I remember having a wonderful time of it. It's just a really enjoyable example of the basic alien invasion premise as told by a bystander, and that bystander's journey through an incredibly chaotic Britain.
