I tried reading that one too - got maybe 200 pages in - but there's too many ****ing characters in that book, I'd have to take notes to ****ing keep track of them all. The only King novel I ever read completely was Cujo.

It was one of the best novels I've ever read tbh
I could see it starting sorta slow yeah. And I probably never would have had the patience if I wasn't basically locked down in the program with no electronic device to keep me distracted. Like Chula, I don't have the passion or attention span for finishing a 1000 page non fiction book. I'll get bored of the topic before 300 pages is up and that's if I'm really enjoying it.
Like i have a ww2 book about the nazis that is super long like that and I read what I consider a lot of it... like 300+ pages... yet I'm still only a third of the way
