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

See I'm the opposite. I can't really read a 1000 page fiction book because usually at some point, I think: "Does any of this even ****ing matter? It's all make believe." Non-fiction has the benefit of leaving me with the feeling that I've absorbed some kind of real word experience. Which isn't to say that fiction can't provide that, it's just that with much longer fiction, I'm more apt to ask myself the question of if it's really worth the time.
Regarding the nazi book, is it Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"?
