It's a lifelong problem, alas.
I'm not picky on length. (Two of my all-time faves are barely novellas--BURROUGHS' THE RIDER and BRADLEY'S SPELL SWORD--but big ones like MOTE IN GOD'S EYE and most of the Honorverse saga are high in the list, too.)
When I was introduced to Tolkien at 17 I read the whole set twice, back to back...in one week. Shortly afterwards I read the 25 volume Tarzan series. Took me a month cause classes had started. Drove my roommates nuts. Although, truthfully, they were nuts to start with. One of them dreamed Tolkien.
Woke us up ranting "Gandalf can't be dead!"
