It has literally been forever since I have done a Follow Friday… well maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it has been at least since the logo has changed. *hangs head in shame* My only excuse is that I have been busy. Very, very, very busy…. Okay, I’ll admit it’s a fairly lame excuse, but it’s the only one that I’ve got. So, enough with the excuses, here’s this week’s intriguing question:

What is the longest book you’ve read?

What are your favorite 600+ page reads?

I don’t read many long, long, long books, but I have to admit, if I’m going to read one I usually turn to Stephen King. This book is the first of his that I have read in years. It made me realize how much I’ve missed his writing. The true test of a long book is that while you’re reading it, the length is the fartherest thing from your mind. You just keep turning pages and stay engrossed. This book accomplished that in spades. You can check out my review of 11/22/63 here. It was one of the most intriguing books that I read in 2011. I read it in ebook format and honestly had no idea how long it was until I checked the page count out for this post. It was that good. (FYI – the hardcover version is 849 pages.)
