I'm looking for suggestions. Inspired by another thread about getting love of reading back.

I would rather like something that made you feel some emotion. I'd love one that is so chilling, it keeps you stuck to your chair over fear Grin

Sad ones would be good too. Just to balance it out, which books have made you laugh, or feel positive?

I came on to say Wide Sargasso Sea but see someone beat me too it. I was lent it by a colleague; started reading it on the train home, finished it at 6am the next morning, in one session, start to finish. Literally could not put it down. Went in to work that day and handed it back to her, and we spent all morning talking about it.

I’ve never done that with a book before.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It is fabulous. I couldn't put it down. I think it's probab!y THE best book I've ever read.
