So at the current rate I'm flying through LA COMMUNAUTÉ DE L'ANNEAU (roughly a page every ten minutes), I expect to blast through the remaining 652 pages in a little over 108 hours. Instead of focusing on that particular misery, a survey of sorts:
Sounds pretty slow going.
1) what's the longest time you've spent reading a book?
I think I spent a month and a half on one of the WoT books.
2) do you ever get put off by length?
Depends on how long it is.
3) what about complexity?
I like complex.
4) how long is too long?
1500+ pages most likely.
5) Is there any hope of me making it through Tom Bombadil in this thing?
Maybe?
Y'all have a great day now, y'hear.
You too. Enjoy that book.

The unabridged Zohar in 23 volumes probably ranks up there.

Camilla's post above pretty much encapsulates it; I want to practice my French with something I know *NM*
