The only problem with a really good book is reading it in bed. Normally I'll stop and go to sleep after half an hour or so. With a really good book I'll read until I finish it, and then find I only have time for three or four hours of sleep!

In bed one of two things happen, I'll either read until I finish or read until I fall asleep with the book still open.
It's great when you have that book that you just want to keep on reading until the end. I remember when I was younger I used to read by torchlight under the covers when I was supposed to be sleeping
