Dragonfly in Amber

The Fiery Cross

and the rest of them

Under the Dome by Stephen King 1074 pages

I actually got 1/3 of the way through before - it's not really the sort of genre I read. Might give it another try.

The Passage by Justin Cronin 836 pages

It's not really the epic books that scare me, it's all these series with 400-600 page books, and 5+ books each. I look at those and go "ugh".

Kahlan I really enjoyed the Passage, yes it is very long but when I finished it I wanted more.

I'm going to try and read the whole Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. I just finished the first book and loved it. Good luck to me =)

[Lu]

Good luck! :D
