I gotta agree with Sweetpea. I love long sagas and series where I can lose myself for awhile. It used to be if each book in a series is 1000 printed pages, I might shy away. However, with the advent of ebooks, the length of the book means far less than it did before. The biggest reason is that I can read a couple of pages while standing in line at a local coffee shop, on the bus, in the car, etc... because Sweetpea is right - There are times where I can hardly read a few pages a day.
