What is the last book that you read compulsively - staying up late, reading in the toilet, leaving it next to you at mealtimes, reading it while walking in the street even - because you wanted to find out what happened next?

i re-read the Lord of the Rings about two years ago. by the time I was on the Return of the King, I was so desperate to find out what happened that I was almost only reading every second page. This despite the fact that this was a second re-read.
