In reply to susan. I avoided Cutting for Stone for years and then once I was reading it I couldn't believe I hadn't read it sooner. So good! The Great Believers was my favorite book of 2018, so you know where I stand on that one!

Great post & list Susie. I too have avoided lengthy books for too long …. but I hope to get to a few this year. I did read The Goldfinch last year (excellent) and have read The Historian which I enjoyed for the most part. I’d like to read Cutting for Stone which I’ve had forever — also want to read Pachinko, the Nix, and the Great Believers …. so I better getting moving.

I was just looking into The Cider House Rules this past weekend after hearing Michael Caine talk about his role in the movie. London also sounds really interesting. Adding both to my TBR now!

I always stray away from big books because I am scared of them. I am intimidated to start reading them. Reading a huge one now though, Killing Commendatore by Murakami

I really enjoyed The Time Traveler’s Wife, surprisingly since I am not a massive romance fan!

In reply to Susie. I'm afraid to tell you how long Steve Jobs is then ....but it is so worth it. I listened to it in 10 or so days because I had my ear buds every chance I got. It was the first audio I listened to while grocery shopping, ha! I am very much looking forward to THIF and it's on my calendar for early November!

In reply to Catherine.

I read and loved Pillars of the Earth, but it’s the only Ken Follett book I’ve read. So many books……

In reply to susan. I've never read The Nix, either and it's mainly because of its length. Sad!

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. It's a little sad, but I also tend to reject books based on length. Before blogging I rarely even paid attention to a book's length. Wish I felt freer to do that more often.

In reply to Jan. Jan! I'm surprised you haven't read THIF already, but I get it. Too often great books just slip through the cracks. It will be a real treat when you get to it. I'd like to consider Steve Jobs in mind for my next audio. With Nonfiction November coming up it would be a good one to listen too, if it's not too long. I feel like 14 or 15 hours is about my limit.
