When will this book end?

This is a very accessible classic and much easier to read than something of equal length, like War and Peace. However, it’s contrary to a core pillar of my reading taste—this book is too fucking long. It’s a limp to the finish line.

In the 900s!

I feel like I’m far in but I have a full normal-sized novel left.

In the 800s!

Every time I hit another 100-page mark, I feel like I’m making progress.

After this many pages I’m back in the groove haha

This book loves messing with my reading comprehension, that isn’t top notch to begin with.

Honestly, I’ve started skimming.
