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.)
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
