Can someone recommend a good 600 page book?
I need to read books for my reading class. I need to read 3 600 paged books by the end of the year. Can someone recommend a couple? I am really bad at picking out books. I like any kind of books if its a good enough book (romance, mystery, action) If possible, a book taken place in the medieval times/dark ages. It has to be high school level book though.
Crime and Punishment might not be quite 600 pages long but it comes very close (well, around 530 actually). Umm… Anna Karenina by leo tolstoy. Ulysses by James Joyce. They are thought of quite rightly as being classics.
