I'm reading a partial memoir, and it's 4,000 pages as it is. Willem Oltmans memoirs (spanning about 70 years). I don't know if I can finish it, since I pause to look up certain names, or watch a documentary mentioned on YouTube, etc..
shareIt by Stephen king, or the stand , can't remember witch ones longer.
As far as most challenging and pretty rewarding book for me tho, would be the satanic verses by salman rushdie.
Would love to see that adapted to a mini series. I wount hold my breath tho
The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
His writings are mastery in role-reversal storytelling.

I read "The Pit and the Pendulum" in school.. I don't think movies are scary, but if I had to pick one, it would have been that one.
shareToday, It's reasonable to think Poe's work is considered part of the thriller genre, very much like that of Rod Serling in the sense of how horror in their corpus (writings) comes not from places and surroundings, but the person's own thought provoking realization; a battle of the mind. Basically, finding meaning in our lives, wrestling with reality and our own conscious nature in relation to it.

Agreed.
Both excellent writers.
1991 version of Pit has full frontal female nudity so it’s worth a watch.
shareI have no attention span...so 400 pages.
shareThe Stand.
1,153 pages.
Still my favorite King book.
