I like doorstopper novels! Neal Stephenson seems to be very good at the doorstop novel....and depending on who you ask, he goes off on a lot of entertaining tangents or fills the books with fluff
I agree that a Kindle does make the doorstopper easier...some of those books are heavy. I haven't read Game of Thrones but when I looked at it in the bookstore, not only was it a large book but the text was some of the smallest print I have ever seen in a novel.
Sometimes I am actually a little bothered by the fact that I have to pay the same price for my 250 page Star Wars novel as I do for a 1000 page epic fantasy novel.
Not trying to start a conversation on book prices, just sayin.....
