Big book tag 📚

List the 5 biggest books you’ve read & the 5 biggest books you want to read.

Thanks for the tag @therefugeofbooks sorry it took a bit, been busy this month but I’m excited! 

I actually have an excel list of my whole library of owned books with their page counts. All different kinds of editions so I’ll include that too. Sad to say though, my already read books are mostly the same author. I didn’t really read a lot of longer novels until reading some fantasy...

Read: 

1. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson (Each book is over 1000 pages and I don’t want Sanderson to be all I have on here so I’m skipping the rest of his books, Warbreaker, Elantris, ect. but here’s how long each book is in his longest series) 

The Way of Kings: Kindle, 1007 pg.

Words of Radiance: Kindle 1087 pg.

Oathbringer: Hardcover, 1243 pg. 

2. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch: Mass Market, 722 pg. 

3. The Truth Circle by Cameron Ayers: Kindle, 567

4. Sayville Tales by Lawrence Jay Switzer: BookSirens/Kindle, 545

5. The Haunting of Lannister Hall by Amy Cross: Kindle, 499

To Be Read: Page counts are according to corresponding edition on Amazon

1. Jerusalem by Alan Moore: Paperback, 1280 pg.

2. The Catholic School by Edoardo Albinati: Kindle, 1256 pg.

3. Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon: Kindle, 929 pg. 

4. Deep River by Karl Marlantes: Hardcover 725 pg.

5. House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski: Trade Paperback, 705 pg.

I asked a question recently at the Bob on Books Facebook pageabout how many pages a day people read. Most people were in the 25 to 100 page range. But I was surprised by the numbers who read 200, 300, and in a couple cases 500 pages in a day (Warren Buffett is one reputed to read 500 pages a day). I call them the super-readers.
