I finished last week, the last third of the book really seemed to pick up for me.
|
BTW, the paperback at Barnes & Noble lists 592 pages. Lots of variation depending on the format.

I'm now at 77% with 15 hours before I post the discussion thread.

Gaack. I'm only at about 25%. Other things were more interesting, and I kept putting it off. Sigh. (This IS the problem with longish books, as we have noted before. But seem to forget when it's voting time. )

This is definitely something those of us nominating can also help out with. Just as we (should) include at least a couple of sources for the book and a short description, adding the # of pages would be a good thing. And, IMHO, adding the cost would also be good. It makes it a lot easier for the rest of us to make an informed decision.

What source is going to be used for the page count? Remember, ADE pages are different than Kindle pages (if there are any) are different than hardcover pages are different than trade paperback pages are different than mass market paperback pages are different than iBooks pages and are different than kepub pages.

Since every format is different, I'm not going to be picky with what numbers others provide. I plan to go with Amazon's "print length".
|
Makes sense, Tom. The exact number isn't important for our purposes. What we need is a close enough figure to understand how long it's going to take to read the book. Do we care if a book is "530 pages" or "545 pages"? No. But we do care if one book is 545 pages and another is 350. (And how DID you all manage to read Outlander at some 1100 pages in the time available?)
|
I have a better idea which I just implemented. When we make a nomination, we can put in the page number. It doesn't take long at all do look up the current print edition's page number.

Since The Three-Body Problem is in the runner-up list for January I thought it would be good to share a way to get it for FREE from Tor's ebook of the month club for anyone in the US or Canada. Only available till July 17.
Grab it now in case it wins in January! This is an excellent book even if it doesn't win. |
