Start by reading the first book, and, depending how much you like it, continue with the rest with the foreknowledge they start to get worse (plot slows down a lot), especially after ~ book 6. | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fa/Stand1990.jpg/200px-Stand1990.jpg) 1153 Pages. It's an amazing book. I think I have read it at least 2 times already. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/It_cover.jpg) I'm about to read IT by Stephen King and that is 1138 Pages but the font is very very very small. | ||

Would be reading 292 words a minute for 32 hours to finish in it 2 days of being awake, without a break. 292 wpm is only slightly above the average reading speed of an adult(~250wpm) and isn't even close to what's possible. Well trained readers can get up to 800-1000 wpm, people who excell at speed reading are are able to read several thousand words a minute. BTT: There are tons of LONG books from old, Russian authors such as Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky( "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov" come to mind here). | ||
