Pop Sugar's Annual Ultimate Reading Challenge discussion

Unfortunately, I have read most of what is on the Goodreads list of books with 800 pages...OR, there is a reason I did not read it. 800 is a LOT, and many of the books I THOUGHT migh qualify, are just short.

I am thinking of Mists of Avalon. Has anyone read it? What did you think?

Another suggested to me is Middlemarch by George Elliot.

I do NOT want non-fiction. So, if you have other titles, I am sure not just myself, but others would appreciate some suggestions.

I read Mists of Avalon back in college---and I enjoyed it, mainly because I am fascinated by King Arthur, Morgane le Fey and Merlin...if the King Arthur Legend interests you, it is an easy read (from what I remember). I was thinking of rereading again for this "requirement".

Have you read 11/22/63 by Stephen King? It's fantastic.

I'm going to read Martin Chuzzlewit.

Bleak House and The Count of Monte Cristo are two good ones over 800

I compiled a list of popular books over 800 pages. You can find it here if you need some ideas. https://bookmouseblog.wordpress.com/2...

That was why I was thinking of doing it. I like King Arthur stories. Thanks for the feedback.

I read Shogun 35 years ago and remember clearly how much I enjoyed it. I forget so many books I read.
Another book that is over 800 pages is Outlander by Diane Gabaldon. Most of the books in the series are over 800.

Paul Auster's book 4321 is over 800 pages.

According to Amazon it is nearly 900. :)

Mists of Avalon changed me to my core. Read it. Just sayin.
