Should probably be the answer of most people here if they're well-read in any capacity. If not, no wonder this place sucks for classics discussion.

Not a Christian. I don't think it's all that out there to expect people on a literature board to have read one of the most influential books of all time. How are you guys reading Paradise Lost, then? Or Dante, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Melville, Hawthorne, Emerson, William James, Flaubert, Shakespeare, Donne, Marlowe, Whitman, Goethe, Nietzsche, Cervantes, Blake, Kant, Hegel, etc.? I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't even read Homer, then, if you've haven't any interest in understanding what you read further than what the footnotes can explain.

Yes, I stand by that. Would you have been happier if I had said On The Origin of Species instead? It's definitely up there with the longest I've read, counting the essays my copy came with. You fucking donkey idiot, you probably haven't even read that, either.

Probably Book of the New Sun if you consider it a single book.

Would you consider web novels as singular books? The "books" are essentially just bigger chapters in terms of story continuation. If so, I think Desolate Era takes the cake.

you have been dilating a lot recently. is it because you got btfo every time you try to be uppity atheistcuck?
>>
>>23315417
Absolutely wonderful book. If I remember well, a lot of the last 100 or so pages are images and shit and the book ends somewhere shy of 800, but the formatting could have been different as I read it on an ereader
>>
>>23315776
Yeah, it can be. As long as you read at least a chapter or two a day you'll finish it before you know it. It's not all a slog, though; there are some great books in it. Here's a tip: don't try to read Psalms from beginning to end like the other books. Read one a day along with whatever else you read.
>>
>>23316253
Correct, it’s a high 800 pages in actuality. Roberts gets teased in one of his debates about it being 900 pages though lol. Despite the length I know I’ll read it again.

Is it really good? How does it compare to ASOIAF?
>>
>>23318011
it's structure is similar to ASOIAF but with shittier characters also written by a cuck who is even more progressive version of GRRM
>>
>>23318011
It's very good. To Green Angel Tower is book three in the trilogy, so don't start with that one. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn was the inspiration for a lot of modern fantasy. Obviously, taste is subjective, and many people say that it's slow, particularly the first half of The Dragonbone Chair, but it is worth reading, even if just to see what the fuss is about. Personally, the only fantasy series I would say is better is Lord of the Rings.

Pic related, which is around 1400 pages. If I ever read In Search of Lost Time or the Mahabharata, both of which are in the 4000 page count range, then I will have reached peak bragging rights and there will be nowhere to go from there.

That wasn't the argument, faggot. Sub IQ mongrels need to stop posting forever

>>23318011
You can definitely see the influence it had on ASOIAF. It's surprisingly dark and violent at times without it being straight up grimdark.

Very comfy and Tad does the build up to the climax very well. It's personally one of my favorites, right up there with LOTR and I always shill it. It's more inspired by Arthurian stories than it is a copy and paste of Tolkien. Hope you enjoy
