Today’s Booking Through Thursday question is soooo easy I can’t resist replying shortly during my lunch break.
What’s the biggest book you’ve read recently?
We just talked about that while having a Bookcrossing OBCZ maintenance meeting during dinner on Monday (that’s what happens when booklovers meet ;)
- Think ‘volume’: With No One as Witness, by Elizabeth George (774 pages; it took me 2 weeks).
- Think ‘fame’: Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh (post upcoming), followed shortly by The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro (post also upcoming).
- Think ‘size’: Falling Angels, by Tracey Chevalier (352 pages of hardback; not extraordinarily huge).
- Think ‘biggest hype’: books by Haruki Murakami — I recently read Dance dance dance and South of the Border, West of the Sun.
Let me guess: next week’s question will be What’s the smallest book you’ve read recently?! Where can I place my bets?

Hehe, your ‘where can I place my bets?’ comment made me giggle. I wonder when it will be changed. Looking forward to hearing how you enjoyed Brideshead as I read that at the end of last year and found it an interesting one…

“Brideshead” is pretty popular indeed. Happy BTT

Great final comment! I have to admit I’d like a new vein of BTT questions!

I agree on Dance Dance Dance but not with South of the border :)
