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
I think you are misunderstanding.
These books were the weekly TV series of their day.
Published in magazines one chapter at a time
Each chapter ends on a cliff hanger leaving you desperate for the next episode.
So just as people enjoy binge watching, these novels should also be fun.
Thats not to say all long books are fun, but Dickens and Dumas and…? should keep you entertained
