Have you read Gone with the Wind? I read that for the first time a couple summers ago and absolutely loved it. I couldn't put it down. Huge book and I carried it with me everywhere.

FFS

What, do you have 200 page limit? Short attention span?

I have a 300 page limit. I find books over that length desperately need editing.

I'm glad Tolstoy, Hugo or Dostoyevsky didn't know that. If those names are unfamiliar to you, Google them.

Yes, Even the greats, went on too long at times.

Ugh! Why do I see Ferrante on this list? I found her book do tedious and boring .

Really? Tell me more. Her Friend books seem to be the rage.

I know and I don't get it. I couldn't finish the first book. Nothing happened and I didn't find it to be well-written at all.

I loved these. The first one was slow to start for sure. But it was basically a supercharged soap opera once it got going.

I really enjoy the Ruth Galloway novels by Elly Griffiths. Also the Maggie Hope novels by Susan Elia Macneal.

The main character is "a tart-tongued archaeologist" living near the salt marshes of Norfolk. Like.

I just bought a used paperback copy of "Running with Scissors" @my public library.

Friends have been pushing me to read this book forever so now I will.
