I keep meaning to carry on reading Wheel of Time volume 1 (of 14 - the whole thing is 11,937 pages long), but I am stuck at page 374 of 816. WoT is not for the faint-hearted.

I am also somewhere early in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, which has 922 pages. He has a weird habit - so far anyway - of telling his story in the present tense; after a while it gets tiresome, not vivid.

I am a very slow reader. I had the Penguin Classics Anna Karenina, but never got round to reading it.

OTOH, I read Jane Eyre and three other Brontë novels in a big fat omnibus edition hardback, so I can say I have read Wuthering Heights. All the characters are horrible people, as far as I remember.

I would consider reading ASOIAF, if only George R. R. Martin would finish the wretched thing.
