The Short List

Now, keep in mind, these new lists are not my summer reading list, but just various examples I came up with of other reading lists of exactly 10,000 pages, in hopes of others joining in on the project.

This list maybe shouldn't be called the short list, because almost all of these books are long as jank, but the list is short. My goal was to get the 10,000 pages in as few books as possible, this is what I came up with.

Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas 1488

Les Miserables – Victor Hugo 1376

War and Peace – Leo Tolstoy 1408

Battlefield Earth – L. Ron Hubbard 1050

Atlas Shrugged – Ayn Rand 1200

It – Stephen King 1138

Don Quixote – Miguel de Cervantes 1024

Shogun – James Clavell 1152

The Broken Gun – Louis L’Amour 164

Nine books. Not bad! I really wanted to do it with all the books in the list over 1,000 pages, but I couldn't get the numbers to work. Oh well.

And I have no idea why I said long as jank. I know that isn't a real phrase, they aren't even all real words. My apologies.

Don't forget to check the April 30 post for the list I will be tackling this summer.
