7/11/2025 - Quicksilver - 624

Carlos Ruiz Zafón - The Shadow of the Wind
878 pages finished! I actually wound up wearing a thumbprint into the cover. It feels weird to put it back on the shelf.
So close now! Just have The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath to finish.
Nearing 400 pages and just past one of my all-time favorites, The Whisperer in Darkness.
A little over 1/4 of the way there at page 233, just past Call of Cthulhu.
82 pages into this behemoth, aiming for 7-10 pages a day. They're in chronological order, so it's interesting to see his work evolve.
Aiming to get through this 700+ page behemoth in 7-10 pages a day. It's in chronological order, so I'm curious to see how his work evolves.
Among the heftier tomes I've read and enjoyed (all >=500 pages):

Gone with the Wind

The Time Traveler's Wife

Roots

The Bible



Trying to get through The Count of Monte Cristo (liking so far, may join this list once finished) so I'll use that as my goal book.
