52 Book Challenge - Week 16

And now for one of the biggest challenges of the 52 Book Reading Challenge:

15. A book with over 500 pages.

That's right, friends and readers, we are challenging you to read a long book. You may recall that we actually gave you advanced warning about this a couple of weeks ago.

In that post, we mentioned that we can't actually help you search for a book based on the number of pages, but we can tell you how to use One Search to see how many pages are in the book.

We're sure you remember, but just to refresh your memory we'll repeat it. And just to amuse ourselves, we'll repeat it in a bad approximation of Elizabethan English.

We'll also get a bit "fresh" with you and call you "thou" (even though that's the way to talk to someone you are very familiar with) because it sounds fancier - and besides, we're all friends here, aren't we?

  • Click, thou, upon the word "Preview", which appeareth at the bottom of the record thou dost desire.
  • Thereto shalt thou find the word "Pages" and, verily, (should the information thou dost seek be held within our humble records), thou shalt find the number of pages there listed.
Godspeed, good gentlefolk, and may the odds be ever in your favour.


(P.S. Sadly, The Hunger Games is just shy of 500 pages, at 454. But you'll be able to use it for the challenge in Week 34, which involves a series of books).
