I guess alot of folks have a different view of "quick reads" than i do. James Joyce in one sitting? I don't think so.

I agree. I'd vote on more books here, except they're too long for me to read in one sitting.
I find it strange that A Clockwork Orange is a fast read...I feel like it takes more than just one sit down. Especially with such inventive language.
I agree with all of you!!! I really was interested in some fast reads!!! Now I'm not sure how believable this is. Aren't there any moderators?
You don't want a moderator - you need a GR Librarian.What should I delete?
These seem to vary between stories I can read in an hour and stories that, admittedly, took me at least three weeks to read. Maybe I'm not a hardcore enough reader? Trainspotting took me a while to read; it's over 300 pages long AND the language style slowed me down.
Well, I can speed read, but I'm not sure if counts as real reading. After all, Frankenstein took me a couple weeks. As it was written in the early 19th century, I spent a bit of time looking up words, and analyzing sentences and dialogue. I got more out of it that way.

I don't think so."I have been wondering about some titles myself, as to me they were definitely not a quick read, 'to be read in one sitting', as the description says. I read, on average, 30 pages per hour, which means a novel of 150 pages would take me five hours...
