    Default Good Long Reads

    If you want a good long read, I'd suggest, "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. At about 12,000 pages, it'll take you quite a bit of time! Also, another good one is the Saga of Recluse, which actually has multiple different storylines in the same universe. I think LE Modesitt is up to 22ish books?

    Just finished Gnomon by Nick Harkaway. I really enjoyed it, it's a bit of a mind bender though. Drood by Dan Simmons is also a great long one. And the 3 Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu is FULL of awesome ideas.

    What does length have to do with enjoying a book?

    Ridiculous question.
