“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.

    The Harry Potter books back in the day, but it was school in the morning, not work.

    Also “While England Sleeps” by David Leavitt. I find I don’t like his plots after I’m done with them but while I’m reading it his writing style pulls me in
