Titus Groan has now beaten me in three formats; the original written page, the BBC miniseries, and the the audiobook. For being such an epic, I have as yet been unable to get past the first "day" of subjective time in the novel. What does it take up--about the first 250 pages?
On a brighter note, I have managed two of the books that have stopped others here. I enjoyed Pillars of the Earth immensely. House of Leaves was a letdown at the end, because I expected a much better payoff for all of my intellectual "investment."
