I’ve always been a reader, sometimes avid and sometimes more casual, depending on how life goes. I think reading is kinda like a muscle that you have to work out in order to strengthen. If your usual books are 200-250 pages, maybe an 1000 page book is something you need to work up to! There are lots of books you can read that are bigger than 250 but smaller than 1000, and once you start reading 800pg books maybe 1000 won’t feel as daunting anymore.

As for how you physically read a book that big…

If you’re especially interested in reading the Count of Monte Cristo right now, perhaps you could read an abridged version, or break it down into sections, and think of it as a milti-book series, or even listen to an audiobook version of it!

Best of luck to you!

I’ve been reading my way through the series, and have been thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m not all that organized! I just happened to be looking at my post history trying to find something and came across this post, realized that I had read a few books from the recommendations and decided to say thanks!! Haha :)

I had completely forgotten that I had been recommended that specific book based on my request until I looked at your comment though!

Coming back to this post say I read the moon of the crusted snow, and the sequel moon of the turning leaves, and loved them both. Thanks for the suggestion!

A few of these are on my tbr list still.
