I loved The Count of Monte Cristo, when I read it I was actually sad that I hadn't read it years earlier.<br /><br />@Jessica: so long as the plot moves at a decent clip, I love long books. Recently I've been enjoying more 200-page classic sci-fi tales, which I devour a handful at a time like popcorn, but some of my favorite books are definitely doorstoppers!<br /><br />@Eileen: You seem to be a fantasy fan, so if you want to try some longer works you could give some of Tad Williams' books a try. The Dragonbone Chair is the first volume in his main fantasy trilogy.<br /><br />@Veela: The Stand is pretty intense, quite violent and dark. I suppose that's only natural, since it follows the survivors of an apocalypse-by-contagious-illness fighting over the future of humanity. I personally loved it, but I was already a big Stephen King fan. <br /><br />@Alison: I have read Cryptonomicon (and basically everything else by Stephenson) and I liked it quite a bit. I found the characters more interesting in Reamde, though.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372317376002783405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607193039280948594.post-75293335450938376762012-03-23T23:40:44.032-07:002012-03-23T23:40:44.032-07:00Hopping through.
