Hello, I’m very aware that it’s Thursday. Nano distracted me, baw. I liked this topic though, so I figured a day late wasn’t a terrible thing. Also, the books I’m going to list will be ones that I already physically own.
If you’d like to participate in T5W, you can do so here.
Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan
1011 pages. This is the sixth book in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. Have a read the first one? …No. Hehe.
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
1007 pages. I’ve only ever read Elantris by Sanderson and kinda wanna tackle his books in publication order. Sooo it might be a bit before I get to this one.
The Owner’s Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind-Brain Research by Pierce J Howard
1007 pages. One day my friend bought me a really big brain book and I may or may not have peed. Brains are so cool, man.
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
1006 pages. I’ve had this book for nearly ten years. I remember distinctly bringing it with me to Paris when I went in 2009 and attempting to read it. I think I got fifty pages in and got distracted. Ahahaha.
The Terror by Dan Simmons
960 pages. Again, I’ve attempted this book a few times over the past decade. I’ll get to in eventually.
.
And that’s it! There are a lot of other books I own hovering around 900ish pages, but I love big books and I cannot lie, so it’s totally fine. Happy reading!

Oh wow, I didn’t know that Jonathan Strange was THAT big.
And oh man, Robert Jordan.. All of his books should have been half as long, then I might not have lost interest^^

Ah, well, my copy of Jonathan Strange is a mass market paperback, so that’s probably swelling the page count a bit, haha.

Lord of Chaos is the next WoT book I need to read too. I’ve tried multiple times to start it but keep DNF’ing it. Damn those long-ass books!

The whole series intimidates me, ahaha. I’ve heard they waiver from really good to really not and back again all over, so I’m very uh… hesitant.

I also didn’t realise Jonathan Strange was THAT long… I guess because I listened to it as an audiobook. I do remember it being quite slow though. It had some good parts and characters and a great atmosphere, but in the end it wasn’t a favourite of mine.

Haha, well I wasn’t speaking specifically about the ending, more in general that in the end on the whole it wasn’t a fav 🙂 But I’ll stop writing now lest I give away anything!!
