I just picked it up and its massive, bigger than any books Ive ever read and I’m a little intimidated by it to be honest lol. I heard it was really dense and I was thinking is there a technique to this? Someone told me that these kinds of books arent really meant to be read head on, that you kind of have to take them in sections ? Not sure let me know what you think
It’s about perseverance and momentum, in my experience, but that’s all worthless if you aren’t enjoying the book. I’ve read a number of 1,200+ pagers and it’s only a slog if you aren’t enjoying it. In my opinion, you need to be making progress everyday, or you’ll forget too much and feel lost by the middle or end of the story. You should be waking up each day looking forward to reading 50+ pages. It took me 22 days to read The Count if I recall, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
