oh Dumas! I so loved his books! I read them when I was little but I think I should read them again....especially Camille, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man In The Iron Mask :p

The Three Musketeers is still to painful to read :(

I consider it long. The book itself is about two inches (5 cm) thick. I can read a 250 page book in two or three days, if given my usual routine. So, this one should take me at least a week to read.
 
ya that's what I though...long is over 1000 plus for me too


oh and OMG why won't she let u read Camille?! wait...how old r u?

oh and T3M....if I tell u then I'd give away the good stuff ;)

1400 pages is very long for me. I think I'd have to tackle one of that length in sections.

London Fields - Martin Amis

I don't consider that to be overly long. I consider book over 800 pages to be long. The book I'm reading at the moment, for instance, is 963 pages, and I consider this book to be rather lengthy, especially because it is in quite small print.
 
I am always looking for suggestions. So if anyone has a list that is too long to post and is in some kind of electronic document and that they would like to share, feel free to send it to me at igbomb@yahoo.com

My current list is about thirty books which won't last more than half a year.
 
I've been wanting to check out Banana Yoshimoto just from what I've heard of her. Everything Haruki Murakami ever read is on my to-read list. Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love," too. After seeing Jarhead I'd like to read the book.
