I got halfway through your post and ordered the book. Here’s hoping it lives up to its reputation. I think it will.
Your library definitely has it. Hell, its so old it might be on project gutenberg
Indeed it is!
Yeah, if you're ever looking for a book and see online listings with tons of different looking books and a wide range of prices, there's a good chance it's in the public domain and available free somewhere.
Yay thanks!
Lol. Oh no, I hope you'll love it and don't feel like you wasted your money. Like another commenter said, write down new names you meet and what they do so you don't get confused later on in the story. The book is 3380 pages on my E-reader. So, be ready for a long read.
Holy shit.
On my E-reader. It could be less on a real a book. Also, it's a very good book, so you'll not feel the time. The book is divided into 117 chapters, that way you can put it down after finishing a chapter or two. Not that bad, trust me.
The longest book I've read was around 900 pages. I had to pause for a few months at 600. But this was a in-depth analysis of WWII, so that also was a factor.
Lol. I've read an encyclopedia of 8000 pages. It was 4 books and each one had 2000+ pages. Last year I read a series of sociology books that were 7 books, they were between 450 to 700 pages. I also have a very old encyclopedia (from the 14th century) that is 16000+ pages that I want to read sometime next year.
Make sure you’re reading the unabridged version. I’ve heard there’s subpar versions out there.
