#allergictochunksters #2026

Interesting fact. I will be able to finish it in one year if I read three pages a day. 😳

Amiable That‘s what I tell people about tackling chunksters —don‘t be intimidated! It‘s just a page at a time until the end. 🙂 14h

#2025reads

If I read this this year this would be #AllergicToChunksters, I‘ve had this for a few years but this looked like a difficult read (I knew nothing of Ancient and Imperial China but now know a little more). The story is of civil wars that went on for almost a century at the beginning of the first millennium. ⬇️

AnishaInkspill There is a lot of violence along with drama and comedy and many characters, I wouldn‘t be exaggerating if I said multi-ten thousand, and this translation is the abridged version.

The last third did drag, but overall, this was an amazing read, and next time I would not hesitate to read this.

Here are the 5 books I'm reading for #AllergicToChunksters as part of my #2026Reads. A couple more may be added but starting with these 5 and seeing how it goes.

Thanks to @julieclair for setting up this challenge, in the wings there are 2 more books that I could not fit into the Long Reads Workout 2026 Challenge I've setup on Storygraph. This workout is one of my #3BookChallenge2026 to (hopefully) make my reading next year go smoother.

julieclair This is a great list! 👍 3d
AnishaInkspill @julieclair thanks, listing is easy, reading on the other hand ... 😂 3d

Fascinating look at Paris in the last half of the 19th Century, as seen through the eyes of a woman who experienced life in all social stratas. The grit and the glamour, she lived it all, from circus performer to courtesan to famous opera singer. But even as a smart, talented woman, she was at the mercy of people - primarily men - more powerful. On the whole, a rather sad tale.
