71 books with another in progress. This includes novels, novellas, and short stories. - TWuG Dec 20, 18:39
The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett at 928 pages and Cloud Cuckoo Land at 640 were my two largest novels for 2022 -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 15:46 11
- My 3 longest were a trilogy. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 20, 16:39 3
  - I want to thank you. I basically took on Cloud Cuckoo Land on your recommendation and I am richer for it. Thank you so much :) -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 17:11 1
    - Glad you liked it! (NM) - Marlowe Dec 20, 18:12
  - My one longest was a compilation, Tales of the Dying Earth, but that just seems like cheating. -- nm - One Baron Posting Dec 20, 17:01
- A Promised Land by Barrack Obama at 768 pages was my largest non-fiction book. -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 15:49 6
  - The Red Badge of Courage at 132 pages shortest fiction, The Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell at 256 pages shortest non-fiction -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 15:55 5
    - I got back to my list - 29 fiction, 10 non-fiction, One graphic novel, one book of poetry for 2022. I'll do better next year. -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 16:25 4
      - how did you do on the contest you were trying? -- nm - Beaker Dec 20, 16:26 3
        
        I bailed two weeks ago. I was eleven short due to circumstances in 2022 and I didn't want to try 11 in three weeks. - crash davis Dec 20, 16:30 2
        
        I'll be a few short of one per week, which is really much better than I was expecting. - Marlowe Dec 20, 18:14 1
        
        I hadn't read so much in years. I'm glad I got back into it due to that contest. -- nm - crash davis Dec 20, 18:24
22 novels, 3 in progress. - mafic Dec 20, 15:40 1
- Speaking Bones by Ken Liu was the longest at 1294. he's my top 3 for length this year. read two of his others at 1210 and 986. - mafic Dec 20, 16:01
Given the length and the author, the title in your IM counts as three. -- nm - One Baron Posting Dec 20, 15:38 1
- It really does. -- nm - psilotum Dec 23, 22:34
