How do you read books that are really big? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm not a avid reader, but I've read quite a few books. Classics such as 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and The Book Thief.

A lot of people on the internet recommend reading Monte Cristo and so I wanted to read it but the is huge, like 1100 pages? That kind of scares me away, if that makes sense.

I usually read smaller books, like 200-250 pages. So I was wondering how do you read a book that has that many pages? I know the question doesn’t really make sense.

If you are wondering what kind of books I read, here's my humble list. Warning though, there are some ero books in there: My book list

One page at a time.

Also, size is relative. I'm currently reading (listening to) Dungeon Crawler Carl. I'm on the 8th book (most recent) but once I read the first one, I knew I had to read all of them.

The Expanse is up next. And I'm looking at it like "the whole journey". It's nine books and a bunch of interconnected novellas. All I can say is... LFG. (Let's get up and go.)
