3. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1,024 pages). I loved this book at the age of 14 and read it multiple times throughout that year. But I have not wanted to reread this one....
4. The Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan (1,011 pages) (his books are huge in the Wheel of Time series; I'll put no more on this list).
5. Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley (896 pages). This is a sequel to Gone With the Wind...yikes; it's terrible. But it was a good bodice ripper! ha!
6. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling (870 pages).
8. Joseph Smith: The Making of a Prophet by Dan Vogel (744 pages).
9. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (736 pages)
10. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (736 pages)
I fell in love with GWTW at about age 14 too--I read it multiple times in my teens, then reread it about 10 years ago and while the story and writing are good, I couldn't get over the whitewashing of slavery. I decided it is was really a story about denial.
ReplyDeleteSpot on. I know I would feel the same way. I have not felt the need to reread it.
DeleteI got half way thru Les Mis and then had to stop reading for a review book and never got back to it. One of these days!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! That's usually how my reading goes when I start a big chunkster classic!
