I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find long books daunting. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is easily distracted, discouraged, disappointed, and disappointing. For my classic novel goal this year, I’m reading 24 mostly short ones. But next year? I’m thinking of going big. How big? At least 600 pages, but I’m open to much longer.
