Top 5 Wednesday- Most Intimidating Books

-



Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!

Top 5 Wednesday is a Goodreads Book Club that meets weekly to answer questions presented.  Our moderators are YouTubers, Lainey (GingerReadsLainey) and Samantha (ThoughtsOnTomes). I enjoy how every week this group brings the book community together. Great fun!

  This week's question asks: What are your Top 5 Most Intimidating Books? (I chose books with large page numbers, since lately my page limit has been under five hundred.)


1.    The Count of Monte Christie by Alexandre Dumas- this huge book has crossed paths with my To Be Read list many times over the past couple of decades. The more I pick it up, the more I feel that a book of this size may be too much to handle. My book reading lately has been limited to five hundred pages.
2.  Les Miserables by Victor Hugo-  with over fourteen hundred pages, this monster of a book has been walked to the counter of Barnes and Noble many times. With their special edition binding, I always feel that I can read it. Fast forward a few editions later, and it is still on the shelf at the book store. 
3.  The Game of Thrones Series by George R.R. Martin- this series seems to grow bigger and bigger in page numbers with every release. With page numbers ranging in the mid-thousands, this epic series has me wondering if I am up to the challenge. With teh latest release, I believe it is time to start this series.
4.  The Winds of War Series by Herman Wouk- set in the World War II era, this series of books range from eight hundred to over a thousand pages. This may me a series I will tackle soon, since I remembering being glued to the television for the ABC mini-series of the eighties. Plus I love World War II-era stories.
5.  The North and South Series by John Jakes- this series of novels is set during the Civil War-era. My mother read two of the books, and had tried to get me as a teenager to read them. To this day I have yet to delve into the books, as they are well over eight hundred pages in length a piece .


 There you have it, my Top 5 Wednesday Most Intimidating Reads. I look forward to seeing everyone's answers. 

  Have fun reading this week. Let me know in the comments below what you are reading.

   Also please follow me on my social media platforms, and enjoy shopping with me at eBay and the Book Depository.
