If you're anything like me, you need to work yourself up to tackle a particularly long book.

So what are the "big books" you have on your to-do list?

I have Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman sitting on my shelf collecting dust. I'll get around to it soon.

>> No.15585859

Don Quixote, Moby Dick, Histories, and that Durant stuff. Though I should delve in every now and then.
Can’t tell which of my ebooks are that large without looking in, but I have EVERYTHING of Emerson.

Hey, I distinctly see aroela peeking out of there.
Thanks

Read Quijote over a year ago. I'm Spanish, so I read the OG. Not all that difficult if you're a native. Took me about two months to read Book I and another two to read Book II - read them about a year apart. Definitely worth it. I'd recommend reading one chapter at a time - from what I remember, each is composed so as to be enough and not more for a single reading session.
