I don‘t know, I‘m thinking it‘s time I dove into this. Anyone crossed this door stopper of their list?

minkyb Do it. You will inspire me! 7y
EvieBee @minkyb Okay! 🤓 7y
MicheleinPhilly My FIL bought this for me for my birthday maybe 8 years ago. Still haven‘t read it. 😬 7y

britt_brooke I‘ve always heard it‘s amazing, but I‘m super intimidated by chunksters! (edited) 7y
EvieBee @MicheleinPhilly Lol, that‘s about the time I bought this big guy, also! 7y
EvieBee @britt_brooke Me too! I don‘t know how I got through Anna Karenina. Loved it but the size! I purposely made my reading challenge low so I could squeeze in bigger books and thus far haven‘t managed it. 7y
BarbaraBB I have owned my copy for years too... I want to read it this year, but keep postponing that. 7y
JamieArc This is one of the main books I want to finally get to this year, and the motivation for doing #yearofthechunkster 7y
EvieBee @BarbaraBB Such a commitment! 7y
EvieBee @JamieArc Me too, and WAR AND PEACE. Can‘t think of the podcast but I recently heard Celeste Ng talk about her love of Monte Cristo and how many times she revisits it, and I thought...I can do that! 7y
LeahBergen Yes and it‘s wonderful! ❤️ 7y
mdemanatee I started it in HS realized it was abridged and got so mad I abandoned it. Picked up an unabridged copy after college and 😍 7y
batsy Not yet 😬 7y
EvieBee @LeahBergen Nice! 👍🏼 7y
EvieBee @mdemanatee Oooh that‘s annoying but glad you came back to it! I hate the word “abridged”. I used to buy reader‘s digest books at the thrift when I was a middle schooler and years later I learned all those books were abridged. Sheesh. I can‘t reread Robin Cook! 7y
EvieBee @batsy In time! 🤓🤗 7y

#BookMail today! I had a hankering for lengthy historical sagas set in Asia in August so this was the result. Glad it finally arrived! #EveryManLibrary

WhatDeeReads Have you read Pachinko? It fits that criteria and is excellent. 7y
EvieBee @WhatDeeReads I haven‘t! But it‘s sitting on my shelf. I‘ll have to squeeze it in. Thank you! 7y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks Total luck. I spotted the Plath and the seller saw my excitement and fished out the other two from a pile of babysitter club books lol! 7y

I could bench press these! These were the first books in my library that I used Mylar on, suspecting that it would take me forever to read and I'd probably tote them everywhere. #doorstoppers #riotgrams #everymanlibrary

EricQiao Everyman I will go with thee... LOVE these editions. The quality is excellent and the font they use is my favorite! 8y
EvieBee @EricQiao I'm a fan, too! I love the paper quality as well. 8y
Desha Awesome! I'm looking to collect some Everyman's soon! Love them! ❤️ 8y

EvieBee @Desha That's great! I wanted to own all of the Palliser books in Everyman but had a hard time finding them all. But when I do find them in good condition for a fair price, I snatch them up. 😊 8y
Desha That's great! They are such beautiful editions ❤️📚📚☺️ 8y
SusaninTX One of my all time favs! ❤📚 8y
