What’s the largest, thickest, heaviest book you ever read? Was it because you had to? For pleasure? For school? Without a doubt, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book #5) at over 850 pages - and I read it totally for pleasure!
I hadn't realized Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was quite that hefty! I read it too and loved it as well as all the others in the series. The Harry Potter books were instrumental in awakening the love of reading for one of my children.

I too read it for total pleasure. Here is my answer to this week's Booking Through Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI never read any of the HP books, and have no intention to ever read them.
ReplyDeleteThat was a hefty one--especially considering it was aimed at kids.

A lot of bloggers have been mentioning HP books. It doesn't surprise me though with how large they get page wise and how great they are.
ReplyDeleteI never read any of the HP books, but they are huge :)
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my favorites out of the whole series!

That was one of the reasons I wished they had made two movies. That was one I read to my daughter. It took forever.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that when I tried to read that one it just wasn't inspiring enough to keep me going for the whole book
