Yep you are right I do not how I got that confused. LOL I am faster than I was a few years ago. It once took me several months to read 1 book now I can read 2 or 3 books a month if they are reasonable size. 800+ pages forget it I get bored by page 400 and takes me eons to finish lol I try to stick with books 500 pages or less. I am still struggling with The Talisman. I purchased it in August I think and I am only 70% in. |

In general, I agree with this - 400 pages is plenty for almost all fiction, too much for a lot of fiction, imo. That said, two of my favourite works of fiction are both 1200+, Monte Cristo and A Suitable Boy. Non-fiction I don't mind in the 600-800 page range if its a topic I enjoy and is well-presented

I understand longer works of sci-fi, fantasy and historical fiction as all of them involve a good deal of world building. Different strokes for different folks. |

If Lord of the Rings is treated as one volume, as it's often packaged, then having read that 18 times probably counts as a long read. I have War and Peace on my 2019 "try" list, so will see how I go with that. There's not nearly the same consensus on translations with that one though, compared to Monte Cristo. |

I started to read war and peace and stopped after a few chapters. It reads like a really good book I just was not into reading a long book at the time. I have a few ebooks that have over 20,000 pages (according to amazon description) some of my story collections Last edited by HLS; 12-17-2018 at 08:01 PM. |
