Pluto_reads yes it is


message 2: by Megan (new)

Megan I don't know but godspeed. I got about halfway through and never finished. I did like what I read, but I got too busy and it took too much concentration during a busy phase of life.


message 3: by Aimee (new) - added it

Aimee this has been on my shelf unread for approximately 8 years. also yes, 1,000+ pages is possible and, in fact, is fun!


message 4: by Erika (new) - added it

Erika Pensaert I read the e-book. Too heavy.


message 5: by K (new) - rated it 5 stars

K D I first read this book sometime in the 20th Century. It's really great!
I should read it again in this century....


James Black The longest book I’ve ever read and possibly my favourite. Go for it! 😀

emma asked and answered!


message 8: by JonEb (new) - added it

JonEb Indeed. I managed to do 1376 pages but it took me about three months 😩😩


Isaiah I used the Serial Reader app. I got a small chunk delivered to my phone every day. Made it a bit less heavy.


Audrey I've read longer.

I did the audiobook without really knowing how long it was, and I guessed it was 700 pages. It did not feel that long.


message 11: by nick (new) - added it

nick I’m definitely a reader with BBF (big book fear), but I’d like to read this book at least once in my lifetime :))


Ayesha (Seokjin's Version) ☾ after reading les mis, i will say it is hard but not impossible


Ayden Worth it!!!


Audrey Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive books are this long.

message 20: by sue 🫀 (new)

sue 🫀 no literally because it seems good but im so turned off by the page count


message 21: by Nivedita (last edited May 29, 2023 06:49AM) (new)

Nivedita possible? yes. but will we actually read it? debatable.

also is this gonna be a series where i realise that the original classics whose abridged version i read when i was younger are actually gigantic through your updates 😭


message 22: by Kashton (new) - added it

Kashton Webster yes. the reading for this book goes surprisingly quick as well


±õ²Ôê²õ Castro this book is worth every second of your time, please do not be afraid of the page count!


Tricko Yeah don't worry! I just got to page 700 and it's been an addictive masterpiece so far, it's super smooth and easy to read.


message 25: by Fae (new) - rated it 2 stars

Fae I mean I did it. It took me months. I don't recommend it but it is possible with enough time and dedication.


Samuel Black Just keep reading, you’ll finish it in no time.


message 28: by Gayle (new) - added it

Gayle Was thinking the same thing- easy peasy�3- 400 page books! How often have we done that?


message 29: by Phil (new) - rated it 4 stars

Phil reading_fastandslow There’s a decent abridged version - Tor classics version. The beginning especially is a slog.


message 30: by Sterling (new) - added it

Sterling Molla Takes me literally an hour to read a chapter because old language trips me up but it’s so good!


stephanie love this book sm


message 32: by Karyna (new) - added it

Karyna this is at the top of my 2024 tbr. so excited to read this book!


AnnMarie Haha it's very repetitive if I'm being honest.


message 34: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Steele girl what the hell


message 35: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Steele and i thought a little life was bad


message 36: by Phil (new) - rated it 5 stars

Phil Audiobook


Sarah-Kathryn i read a 600-some page abridged version twice and it remains my favorite book of all time... my life goal is to read the unabridged version eventually (which i could've done in the time it took to read it twice). Plus don't you read like a page a minute? Haha


message 38: by Jenna (new)

Jenna I managed it at 14�. So so so worth it!


message 39: by Jess (new)

Jess *Laughs in Stormlight Archive*

LOL. Exactly.


Caroline Miller I am absolutely loving it. I’m very close to done (I have less than a hundred pages left) and so far it has taken me just over three weeks to read. The key is to also listen to parts of it as an audiobook. It is legit one of the best books I’ve ever read


𝑊𝑦𝑏𝑖𝑒 𝐵𝑜𝑟𝑛 𓂀 𝑡𝑜 𓆣 𝑑𝑖𝑒 This is my favourite book and I read it when I was 15 (I did have a lot of time to kill) so believe me you won’t regret it. It’s an epic revenge story.


message 43: by Jos (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jos Yes it is


Susan Kay I am about halfway through and really enjoying it, but I do confess to skimming a few pages here and there when it gets excessively wordy.


Aevon You can read it in about 4-5 days(maybe even less) if you're a fast reader, but I would recommend against it. It's a really enjoyable book. Take your time and enjoy the story, you don't have to rush it.


message 46: by :) (new) - rated it 4 stars

:) It's worth it.
Masterpiece


message 47: by Ele (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ele (Taylor's Version) Yes, it took me almost 3 months but it was def worth it


message 48: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth V'R You can make it a project for a year. Read other books as well. I did that with Books of Jacob.


message 49: by Lillian (new)

Lillian  Bailey (KALADIN STORMBLESSSED VERSION) its possible... ive read a book thats 1350 pages long in a few days


message 50: by Rylan (new) - added it

Rylan its totally possible...I read Les Miserables (1463 pages) in like 6th grade and it only took me like a week of spread out reading.
