Yells vs the doorstoppers

I think I hit 13 last year so I will stretch a little and aim for 15 this year. I am working through the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list so I have lots of doorstoppers to choose from.

Some suggestions:

Infinite Jest by Wallace
The Kindly Ones by Littell
La Regenta by Alas
Cloudsplitter by Banks
USA by Dos Passos
Suitable Boy by Seth
Once and Future King by Whyte

I have Suitable Boy and Once and Future King on my lists too.
Happy BFB reading in 2019!

Welcome back and happy reading!

Welcome back. Happy new year.

Welcome back to the group, hope you have a good year with the BFB's.

>3 JayneCM: Suitable Boy has been on my list for a few years but I am determined to read it this time! It sounds fantastic but I want to have time to really savour it so it's length keeps preventing me from cracking it open.

Thanks everyone! Hopefully this is a great reading year for us all.

>7 Yells: I am looking forward to re-reading it, especially as the sequel, A Suitable Girl is coming out soon. Another BFB!

Yells, I can vouch for A Suitable Boy, it is a long read but an enjoyable one !

And Jayne I didn't know about the sequel, great news, though I wonder what the third one will be called ?

1) I guess I will count Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. My version is part of a collection so I have no idea what the page count is but others say 621 so I will go with it.

Crime and Punishment definitely a big book and an important read !

2) David Copperfield by Dickens. 736 pages
