So ... I have downloaded the entire Tarrin Kael's Sennadar Universe by James Galloway, pen-name Fel from http://www.weavespinner.net/Worlds_of_Fel.htm

The first book has 1.8MB in plain text format.
16,405 paragraphs; 342,448 words; 1,868,838 characters (the result of a Linux wc [Word Count] command)

The entire series, all 8 books has 134,404 paragraphs; 2,896,081 words; 16,040,773 characters
At 1800 characters per standard typed manuscript page, it is some 8,911 pages. Four feet high stack of papers. A thousand pages per each of 8 books.

Is that long enough Don?
