Big Books To Get Stuck Into This Winter

Are you looking for a chunkster to get stuck into?  Do you relish the heft and challenge of a juicy long book? Do you enjoy the odd doorstop here and there to break up your reading list?  Look no further!

  1. Your list reminded me I want to read Stephen King's Under the Dome!

    I've read all the Harry Potters, and the latest 700+ page leviathan I read (and loved) was The Passage by Justin Cronin. I just checked - The Book Thief (Mark Zuzak) is 500+ but was brilliant so I'm listing it here anyway.

    In my TBR pile is The Curse of Chalion (Lois Bujold) - not sure if I'll get stuck into it, but we'll see!

  2. Loved 'Under the Dome' by Stephen King, definitely a good one for the TBR pile and at 880pgs, it certainly qualifies as a chunkster!

    Haven't heard of The Curse of Chalion though, so will go check it out on GoodReads :-)
