What’s the biggest book you’ve read recently?

(Feel free to think “big” as size, or as popularity, or in any other way you care to interpret.)

 

 

Big book (brick sized book):     gone-with-the-wind

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.  My G-Ma recently reread it and she wanted me to do the same.  So I did; it is still amazing and large…

 

Big in popularity: sandman

The Sandman Preludes & Noctures by Neil Gaiman.  I love, yes love, Neil Gaiman.  This series has been around for awhile and though I have read all of his novels, I just finally read the first of this series.  Today I received the second, The Doll’s House.  Whoop whoop!

 

Big in scope: hakawati  

Hakawati by Rabih Alameddine. It has it all: life and death, love and loss, family history and individual journeys, legends and fables, good guys and bad guys…and a few kick-ass women! BIG, BIG BOOK.   I will go so far as to say it may be my favorite book of the year.
