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

How do you eat a very large package of cookies?

The same way as a smaller package, it just takes longer. You have the experience of eating cookies across more days than with the smaller package. Just as with the smaller package, you just do this until the package is done. If you get tired of eating this kind of cookie after a while, maybe it sits in your pantry untouched for a few weeks until you feel like eating that kind of cookie again.
