Good for you Karly! David Foster Wallace books are definitely big fat books. Karly wrote: "Hello! Big mix here, even got a large book off my tbr pile after several years.. feeling accomplished!
The Pale King - David Foster Wallace. 3/4 stars. Oh man this has been in my shelf for YEARS! So glad I got to it! I love DFW, and this actually is, though labeled fiction for apparent legal reasons, actually an unfinished memoir."
Karly, I just love that feeling of finally getting to a book I've been meaning to read forever! Congratulations!
So Karly: which book will be your next big fat book project? :)Karly wrote: "Thanks all! Such a good feeling! :)"
Oh man... so many! I get so carried away at the bookstore.!I have a 2 volume hardcover set of Sherlock Holmes stories, both volumes are veryyyy large.
I have The ilInvention of Nature hard cover and the Invention of Science hard cover, both quite large.
Also a large hard cover of Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems...
Not to mention some smaller, not technically bfb status books, but ones that have been on the shelf for ages. Oh and endlesssss coffee table books I actually want to read, but they are so bulky. So much reading to do!

Guide to the Galleria Borghese - k fiore. 4 stars.
Guide to St Peters Basilica - Frida Giannini. 4 stars.
Vatican Museums Guide - augusta tosone. 4 stars.
Dubious Documents - Nick Bantock. 4 stars. This is the author of the Griffin and Sabine books. I love a good puzzle! Though I have to admit I didn’t fully figure out the answer and can’t find it online- if anyone knows the answer let me know!!!
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - Agatha Christie. 5 stars. Love a Hercule Poirot mystery!
The Pale King - David Foster Wallace. 3/4 stars. Oh man this has been in my shelf for YEARS! So glad I got to it! I love DFW, and this actually is, though labeled fiction for apparent legal reasons, actually an unfinished memoir. The parts that read more like fiction are harder to get though but his authors notes are brilliant, hilarious, poignant and insightful.
On to July!
