>100 days left in the yearyou're finishing one more doorstopper before 2025 right? you reached all your reading goals, right?
>>24748226Yea have two hundred pages left of “east of Eden “
>>24748226I've read anna k, middlemarch, moby dick, and gravity's rainbow this year. I'm good.
>>24748226Yes in fact I’m literally working on Infinite Jest right now. Only way I see myself not finishing it is if I get totally sidetracked by other books. Which is a decent possibility honestly.
>>24748226You only read 10 pages a day?I will probably read Making of Americans next month after the new Pynchon, not sure after that JR is also on my stack, might get to it this year.
>>24748226the opposite.I'm just reading A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Sulkov).they should make more novellas; novels are too verbose
>>24748229East of Eden I wouldn't call a doorstopper. It's shorter than Dracula. Although much more dense.
>>24748226I've got a few under the belt this year:Reymont: The PeasantsSolzhenitzyn: Gulag Vol II (semi-doorstopper, I know, but gimme a break, maybe I'll finish Vol 3 this year)Chaucer: Tales of Caunterbury (in Middle English, so this counts)Cervantes: Don QuixoteZola: Germinal (maybe? it felt pretty long at least)Pynchon: Mason & DixonI want to read The Sot-Weed Factor soon. After that is a shake-up between JR and Seven Pillars of Wisdom, as far as doorstoppers go. There's still plenty of time in the year, anon! It's not even October! Currently reading Parzival by von Eschenbach and enjoying it greatly. Definitely the best telling of the "Gral" story. Much more enjoyable compared to Cretien and Malory.Happy reading!
>>24748342It’s 600 pages
>>24748226I'm halfway through The Fountainhead
>>24748916Behold, a doorstopper
>>24749097
>>24749467East of Eden is only 7000 words longer than Dracula. Did you get the retard big text edition?
>>24749467I have a nice little slender East of Eden
>>24749630The text must be microscopic
>>24749472At the most generous east of Eden is 59800 words more
>>24748226how come whenever i see a picture of Infinite Jest, it has a million sticky note things in it? ive never read it before
>>24748226i haven't read a single thing
