I'm extremely intelligent.

My record was for "Eaters of the Dead" aka "The 13th Warrior" by Michael Crichton. I read about half on a flight from LA to Jamaica, and I finished it on the flight back.

It's possible... There are the books that are just too good to put down, and some authors who write in such quick, simple sentences, it doesn't take much to read them. James Patterson is the obvious example, Harlan Coben is another whose last book I finished in one day.

Currently reading Poe's Shadow, edited by Peter Straub.

Next is Just After Sunset, by Stephen King.

"José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho, GOIH (pronounced [ʒuˈzɛ moˈɾiɲu]) (born 26 January 1963 in Setúbal) is a Portuguese football manager. He is the current manager of Italian club Inter."

I usually only read one at a time, but I am reading two right now because I couldn't decide which one I wanted to start first. I'm sure one will become the dominant one and I'll end of finishing the other one up after.

He learned Italian (fluently) in about three months, including idiomatic expressions. When asked at his press conference how he did this, he replied (in fluent Italian) "I'm extremely intelligent."

You can sniff a James Patterson book these days and get the gist of the plot.

I'm reading Your Money or Your Life.

I'm going to have to use that the next time someone asks me about James Patterson and why I don't read his books any more.

I'm reading Just Past Sunset now.

After taking a couple of months to finally finish The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle, I started reading Little Girl Lost by Richard Aleas.

Working on these two at the moment:
