Audible is featuring some books that they say would have you calling in sick, late, ... or lost.

So, have you had a book that had you doing this?

I haven't ever called in sick or late because of a book, but I have stayed up way too late sometimes to finish books and regretted the effects the next day.

Yeah, me, too!!

Umm, yes. I "chucked a sickie" (Australian term) from work to finish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I regret nothing.

No regrets!

Marvellous idea, thank you. I will put this on my bucket list, because I've only ever read until past sunrise, then felt totally off all day.

I remember not going to school because of a book, but sadly I can't remember which it was!

I would however call in sick for Doors of Stone, but my employer doesn't need to worry since it isn't getting published soon ;)
