Most long and boring book ever written

[Siwi]

Done Proust. Done Nelson Mandela autobiography etc.

It's a parent idea.

The Book Thief

Infinite Jest.

Ulysses.

Moby Dick

War and Peace.

I second Moby Dick.

Woman in white. Sorry. I know its a classic. I hated it.

Thanks!
You are on the right wavelength be cause all of these are covered apart from the book thief. Which I will order if it gets a second nomination.

Same for me, daisy - started it umpteen times and never been able to finish. Only other book I couldn't finish was "Snow" (Orhan Pamuk - I love everything else he's written, but not that).

Middlemarch. Did it for A Levels. It goes on and on and on and on.

And infinite jest. Thanks. Off to google.

And I finite jest sounds fun!

Why do you want to order a long, boring book?

I came on to say Ulysses too

Return of the Native, Hardy.

Infinite Jest is amazing and not at all boring! I have read it quite a few times. It is very odd though.

Can't believe that there are people who didn't like the Woman in White! It is one of my all-time favourite books!

The Golden Bowl.

I nominate "Nostromo" by William Conrad as unreadable!

I'm torn between Midnights Children and Cloud Atlas. I thought both were dire.

When I was 18, I returned from college unexpectedly (got a lift) and found, on my Mother's bedside table, with a National Trust bookmark, in my very, very detailed teenage diary.

Need revenge boring books.

Mao biography is never ending! By Jung Chang I think

Jesus. Middlemarch.

Tried to spoof my way through a tutorial having not read it.

Didn't work.

My tutor was her bloody biographer

Infinite Jest. Still only half read on my mantlepiece.

A Hilary Mantel one...yawn. Can't even remember the title. Grey cover, probably about the French Revolution IIRC.

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain. It nearly broke me, like bloody kryptonite on my eyes' ability to take in words!
