I dont keep track of mine I just read


message 12: by Squire (new)

Squire (srboone) I hope to read 50 books. But I have an annual doorstop challenge of 3-5 books of 1000+ pages. I've already complete 1 of them.

Centennial

Books of this length usually turn into 5 star reads for me because they have to keep my interest for 1000+ pages. lol

I recommend The Count of Monte Cristo that’s a very long book and a classic

Thanks, DW, but I already read it. I'm running out of Tomes to read at this point (I know there are more, but...). Michener looks like he could provide me with a few, tho.

One that has always interested me is Sironia, Texas, mostly because it's considered one of the longest books in English (and, yes, I've read the Bible--multiple times.)

Squire I can recommend you some good classics but they are not long enough for you

Yes. And War and Piece. And Atlas Shrugged. And The Tale of Genji. And Jerusalem. I have Infinite Jest and The Faerie Queene on my Challenge list for this year.

Don't feel bad, tho. lol

Don’t know if you have read this classic list but I recommend these

Crime and Punishment
Dombey and Son
The Mill on the Floss
Middlemarch
Adam Bede


message 19: by Squire (new)

Squire (srboone) Haven't read any of those, yet. BUT...

message 21: by Cassia (new)

Cassia Hall (cass_hall) | 27 comments I managed to meet my goal of 36 last year and am trying for the same number this year. I read pretty slow, so it's a bit of a stretch for me. Last year, I threw in a few children's books in there. :)
