My clear and honest answer would have to be nothing. See, I am programmed to turn into a zombie at 9 p.m. and if I am not in bed by 10:30 p.m. I turn into a pumpkin. So, I don't stay up all night for anything or anybody unless one of my grandchildren is being born. I have been known to get up about 4 a.m. for royal weddings but I won't say the rest of the day is pretty.
HOWEVER I do have my moments of being caught up in books and have been known to read through dinner preparation time, in the car on the way to anywhere, and in the tub.
As to what the last book I read that I couldn't put down was -- well, that is difficult because the last several books I have read have been page turners. In the Company of Others by Jan Karon certainly comes to mind but I have also been really caught up in the Aunt Dimity series. Right now I am reading Franny and Zooey and it is going quite slowly, not because it isn't good but because I have been really busy but I intend to spend time on it today.
So, there you go -- not very interesting, eh?

Franny and Zooey was always my favorite Salinger book, but it's been thirty-some years since I read it. Michael is re-reading Salinger's Nine Stories right now, so maybe I'll give F&Z another look, too. I could take it with me to the dentist today. (No. Bad idea.)
LOL, yes waking up at four is not conducive to a good day.
Here's mine:

Joy -- the dentist again? I think I should come up there and stay with you for a while -- you need company. Yeah F+Z is going slowly but I am enjoying it -- but it is too short to be taking me this long!
Oh, those books sound good! I've been wanting to read Franny and Zooey...thanks for reminding me!
Here's MY MONDAY MUSINGS POST
I can't stay up late either, but the last book I fell asleep reading (because I was trying to stay up late, and failed!)was 'The Woman in Black' by Susan Hill.

I am on a rather strict pattern of sleep due to my job, so I rarely stay up...but I do find myself reading when I should be doing other things too...
Like you, I have a set bedtime, but because of insomnia, as you already know, I do read into the wee hours of the morning. But, not necessarily because I can't put the book down. BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog.
