Blog Hop - Aug 19

It’s been a while since our last hop and this week’s question over at Crazy for Books didn’t make our brain hurt too much, so....

Question:  What’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?

Answer: According to Wikipedia the longest fiction novel we (Evan) every read was Atlas Shrugged at 645,000 words (1,450ish pages), although A Suitable Boy FELT like the longest book we every read at 591,552 words (1,349 pages).  Les Miserables, which we just finished earlier this week was one of the best “long” novels we every read (listened), standing in at 513,000 words (1,350ish).     

Wow, 3 answers for the price of 1, talk about value.  Then again that’s what we’re all about here at Two Bibliomaniacs.... oh, and books.  Give us a follow and we’ll be sure to return the favor!!!

TBR Shelf Management - Book Blogger Hop (June 17th)

After tirelessly scanning the various Friday memes this morning, we’ve decided to partake in The Book Blogger Hop over at Crazy-for-Books!!!

Question: How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) pile?

Answer: Right now we have 379.7589 books on our TBR shelf.  However, it should be noted that his number changes daily.  As a general rule we work off compilations generated from the BBC Big Read, Time, Modern Library, and some obscure Facebook prove-your-literacy-strength list.  We also welcome recommendations from the Book Blogosphere.  With so many books vying for our attention it’s often difficult to decide on our next book.  Currently, the winners are: 

1.       A Small Fortune

2.       Capote

3.       Guards! Guards!

4.       Northanger Abby

5.       Radical

6.       The Help

Obviously, the above choices could change without notice or explanation...  Can't wait to find out how everyone else is managing their piles!!!
