Normally, I'm okay with long books - I have read plenty of gigantic books and I own plenty of others; but this one is so big, I can't even bring myself to buy it! <br /><br />Maybe someday... in retirement...Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-86394597587213030522012-09-11T10:29:06.759-07:002012-09-11T10:29:06.759-07:00Sounds interestingSounds interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-52610736577722006552012-09-04T22:42:49.331-07:002012-09-04T22:42:49.331-07:00Yay, lots of encouragement!

That's awesome. And I'll say it again--this book is an easy, pleasurable read. I had planned to take it slow and spend a year reading it, but I finished in three months, because I was enjoying it so much. It's not an intimidating book at all, truly! :) Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784890975490896640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-39637220206844228352012-09-04T14:59:40.073-07:002012-09-04T14:59:40.073-07:00I bought a secondhand copy of this one a while bac...I bought a secondhand copy of this one a while back and it's on my Classics Club list but haven't tackled it yet.<br />Amy's review does inspire me towards making the effort to read it.
