Two of the best books i've ever read are 'Memoirs of a geisha' and 'The talisman', they were the sort of books that you can't put down. Could any one name me a book which they found hard to put down? I love books like that.

I like Robert Parker mysteries. They are always a one day read. But based on the sample of your interests, you probably won't.

If you're after a good "seasonal" book - I just finished reading "Skipping Christmas" by John Grisham. Could not put it down. The book was developed into a movie "Christmas with the Kranks" last year. The movie didn't do the book justice.

I can't put down any of Catherine Coulter's FBI series books. And Patricia Cornwell's books about Dr. Kay Scarpetta are equally amazing.

The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve. I read it in one day.

For a more "literary" style of book, I'd recommend The Kommandant's Mistress by Shari Szeman and The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

I also couldn't put down Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels and The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. All wonderful reads.
