Define "on your TBR" however best suits your situation. I've already mentioned some of my 600- and 700-page possibilities, but if I want to avoid doubling up on those prompts, I still have lots of options. I mean, War and Peace has been on my TBR for more than 50 years now, so maybe I should give it a chance.

Cheryl (6of8) | 247 comments I read it one summer when I was working a job which required me to be a body only and I was otherwise bored at work. I will tell you that for me, the first 750 pages kind of dragged, but the last 250 or so were much better. I might not have finished it if there had not been a dare hanging over my head for 15 years by that point.

I decided to count Slice of Cherry for this. It's a little over 500 pages, so it counts for Tome Topple, and it was about the 3rd largest book on my March TBR.

Cheryl (6of8) | 247 comments I am counting Mark Kurlansky's Salt for this one. The book was not as big as some on my TBR, but physically and mentally it loomed larger as a hard back and as one that had been waiting almost 10 years for me to read it.
