It's time once again for Sue's ( Book by Book ) annual Big Book Summer Challenge and I am all in. Just read 1 or more books of more than 400 pages between May 25 (beginning of Memorial Day weekend) and September 4 (Labor Day).
I just started John Irving's The Last Chairlift , which clocks in at over 800 pages, so that will probably take me all summer. I'm also super interested in reading Dickens's Great Expecations as Adam, the 1st person narrator in The Last Chairlift, mentions it quite a bit in the first part of the book and I've only listened to an abridged version (shameful, I know!).
I also want to read War and Remembrance , Herman Wouk's sequel to The Winds of War , which I read last year.
