It took me 26 years to finish Magician by Raymond E. Feist. 1995 - 2021.

Took me about that long to read Shogun by James Clavell around 1989. Mind you I was going through anxiety attacks at the time. Need to find another copy
The three month it took me was time well spent.
You might find Musashi by EiJi Yoshikawa to be of interest.

It's taken me 20 months to read a 180 page book, and I'm just a little over half way through.
Nothing wrong with it, but when I stop for a break, I don't find myself going back.
The Author has had enough time to write the follow-on novel.

For me, probably the Night’s Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. I’ve not read many 1000 plus page books, but I have read Stephen King’s The Stand, and IT. Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons and The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.
Of them, the Stand is the one I enjoyed the most, I think.

This thread is not about long books, its about taking a long time to read books.
No apology needed I'm sure, and I'm sure it doesn't matter - but threads can go off topic rapidly in a Chinese whispers kind of way, so thought I'd just mention it.Doh! What a Wolf. Apologies all.
