Unputdownable.

Isn't it great when you get a book that you just want to spend more time with? I mean that point of attachment where you consider staying on the bus, an extra tube stop or you hang about at your train station until everyone else is safely off.

The sort of book that keeps you up at night because you can't put it down, and when you do it distracts you because you can't think of anything else. You grieve a little when you finish it, because that imaginary universe is somewhere you'd like to stay.

I'm reading '20 Years After' at the moment - it's Alexandre Dumas' second book in the musketeer series and it's really good. I intend to wax lyrical on my ebook reader at some point, but it has done my life proud in bringing me and Monsieur Dumas together. I have really connected with these French aristocratic characters, which says a lot about me I suppose. Although I probably have more in common with the grumpy lackeys than any of the comtes and dukes...

I could go on, but I have a book to get back to.
