So there are some books that I start reading and then I just avoid reading more of because they are boring and then I won't finish them until the other alternative is "watch paint dry".

And there are some books that I'll happily read at the times I usually set aside for reading, and then eventually I'll finish.

and then there are some books that I find really hard to put down and will insist on reading at times I'm supposed to be doing something else... like sleeping, or running, or getting back to work. These books are in this last category. Really really hard to put down! At least for me.
