Most captivating books you’ve read?

Can anyone suggest me a book or more books you’ve read that captured your attention so much you weren’t able to stop reading until the end?

I used to be a huge bookworm but haven’t been able to read much or not at all since losing my Dad. Most of the books I used to love now seem frivolous.

Since then, I’ve been mostly interested in medical history, also pathology and memoirs from pathologists. I used to be a huge sci-fi fan (including hardcore), and used to love fantasy and history, while I’m now also interested in crime.

Before losing Dad, I’ve read all of Douglas Adams, Discworld and other Terry Pratchett books, and Neil Gaiman.

Thank you and happy reading!
