I think it's really sad. More and more - people do not read.
What ever happened to RIF -- Reading Is Fundamental.
Does anyone read BOOKS any more?
Like 600 pages - 1500 pages.
Like a series of novels?
Or have trouble reading and understanding ONE stinking paragraph?
I read every single night. Currently I am reading the
A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin which was the inspiration for the TV series
Game of Thrones. I think the total page count is close to 5000 pages. I did not see but a couple of episodes of the TV series but those viewings did pique my interest. I am enjoying the books immensely. The author is an excellent writer and does a wonderful job helping the reader to keep straight the myriad of characters.
This series is small compared to the 17 book
Sword of Truth series which totals nearly 11,000 pages. The way Sword of Truth is written each novel picks up exactly where the last book ended so it is more like one big book than individual books.
I devoured the 16 book
Necroscope series by Brian Lumley which totaled about 8000 pages. This is one of the most intriguing horror series I have read where mathematics and horror come together.
I am a voracious reader and love science fiction, mystery, crime, fantasy, horror.....
