Big Books Worth the Time

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I tend to read one big (lengthy, 700+ pages) book per year.  Recent ones that I’ve reviewed are

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara (http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2015/08/review-of-little-life-by-hanya.html)

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2015/08/schatjes-reviews-archives-reviews-of.html)

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton (http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2015/08/schatjes-reviews-archives-reviews-of.html)

Barkskins by Annie Proulx (http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2016/09/review-of-barkskins-by-annie-proulx.html)

I got to thinking about these novels because I came across an article entitled “26 Very Long Books Worth the Time They’ll Take to Read”:  http://www.vulture.com/2016/11/long-books-worth-your-time.html.

From that list, the one I would recommend is A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.  And being Canadian, I must put in a plug for a Canadian book:  A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

When you’re in the mood for a good, lengthy read, check out the list.
