Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View and Alison at Alison Can Read. The point is to follow as many book blog as you can and make new friends! As part of the adventure, she gives a weekly question.Here's the questions for this week:
Q: What is the longest book you’ve read? What are your favorite 600+ page reads?
A:
The Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey averages over 600 pages per book. While I have not read it in awhile, those used to be one of my favorite series. I think Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard is the longest book I read. It topped out at well over 1,000 pages. Out of all the 600+ page books I have read, my two favorite are Battlefield Earth and It by Stephen King. It is also over 1,000 pages. However, unless the book is really, really dragging, I do not notice the page limit. When I finish a book, I'll look to keep track of the number of pages I have read during a year.What are you're answers this week?
I've never kept track of the number of pages I've read in a year before, but that sounds like a great way to be able to compare reading years. Stephen King does have a lot of chunky books!
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I haven't heard of the Kushiel series. What are they about?

I've never realized how long Stephen King's books are. Of course I've only read 1 so far and it was only 450 pages, but I really want to pick up some more. Maybe I'll go big and go with It.

Hmm great answer. I haven't read Battlefield Earth (sounds like an awesome name for a movie) or any Stephan King, but I know what you mean that you don't notice the pages. Sometimes if a book is truly aawesome I'll be sad when it's over be it 400 or 1,000 pages.
