I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie: A Different Sort of Handbook for Readers | Lori Oster

repost for @Amiable:

Have you always wanted to tackle the giant books that double as paperweights, but the page counts intimidate you? Join us for the 5th annual #ChunksterChallenge! It‘s structured with levels to help build up your stamina to take down those super-sized tomes and claim the bragging rights. Because the secret to completing the Colossal Chunkster is simple math – one page at a time!

#ChunksterChallenge2025

Amiable Oh, thank you! ☺️ 2d

AnnCrystal @Amiable hi, are we able to select own books?? Is this low-key or are there minimum/maximum challenges?? And can anyone join?? Thank you, 🎇 Happy 🥳New💖 Year 🎆. (edited) 2d

Read4life @AnnCrystal I did this last year and it‘s low key. Read what you want, when you want. Just tag @Amiable and use the #. Include which level your chunkster falls into. Open to everyone. 1d

Amiable @Read4life Thank you! 🙂 @AnnCrystal Yes, pick your own chunksters! The goal of the challenge is just to get you to read those giant books you may have been avoiding because the page counts intimidate you, or because you find that you are always reaching for the short books to chase an arbitrary book total goal. 1d

AnnCrystal thank You @Amiable and @Read4life That's great! Definitely joining on 😉👍📚💝. 1d

Napoleon: A Life | Andrew Roberts

Getting ready for our first #chunksterchallenge2025 read for tomorrow! 10 pages per day until we‘re done!

Thank you for hosting again, @Amiable We look forward to this challenge every year!

This one only counts as a Chunkster…not a Colossal Chunkster! We‘ll have to pick a longer one next! 😂
@Kelly326

Amiable I think we‘re going to run out of qualifying colossal chunksters before too long! 😄 2d

Kelly326 It was hard enough to find one that long. 😂 Excited about this one!! 20h

Amiable @ginakbutler I changed the names of the categories this year -- because who doesn't want to take down a COLOSSAL CHUNKSTER? 😃 3d

Amiable In 2025, I plan to complete at least this chunkster:

Anna Karenina

youneverarrived I‘ve been telling myself I‘ll read this for a few years but never have - maybe this will give me the incentive to read it 💕

The Count of Monte Cristo

See All 35 Comments

Amiable @youneverarrived I really liked that one, actually! It‘s very readable. And if I recall correctly, it qualifies as a Colossal Chunkster! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3d

Deblovestoread Going to try to read Les Mis this year with @TheBookHippie 🤞🏼 3d

Deblovestoread And your post reminded me I did finish a chunkster this year. Will post soon. 3d

Mollyanna One of my favorite challenges (although I didn‘t do so well this past year, a couple bitsys)! I‘ll have to look at my chunksters and decide. 3d

TheSpineView I was going to read War and Peace last year. However, I kept putting it off and before I knew it the year was over. Maybe 2025 will be THE year. 3d

TheBookHippie I love chunksters …shhhhh don‘t tell it upsets the peeps 🤣 3d

Amiable @Mollyanna I hear you. I had 10 this year that would count: 2 Chunksters, a couple of Petites and a few Bitsys. I missed the big-boy level —just didn‘t have the attention span. 3d

JenReadsAlot I skipped this year so will be back in 2025!! 3d

Amiable @TheSpineView Start on Jan. 1 with a chapter a day! It‘s a lot more manageable if you break it down into tiny bites. 3d

Amiable @JenReadsAlot Yay!! Do you have a specific one in mind? 3d

Amiable @TheBookHippie Ha ha, right? There‘s nothing as satisfying as taking down one of the giants, though! 😀 3d

JenReadsAlot Nope 😂 I stil have a couple days! 3d

quietlycuriouskate I have a goodly stack (more of a pillar, really) to choose from. 😊 3d

Amiable @quietlycuriouskate Nice! We‘ll whittle down that pillar to a tall post. 😀 3d

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 3d

dabbe Yay for this! I know I have 3 for this year: TOMBLAND for #ShardlakeSeriesBR, LES MIS, which @TheBookHippie is going to get me through (after already trying 3 times in the past), and JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL--just because. Hope I can do it! 🤩 3d

Amiable @dabbe Les Mis was a struggle for me, too—thank goodness I‘m stubborn! I also am thinking about starting Robert Caro‘s mammoth works about LBJ. Although he‘s 89 and still writing the last one and I‘ll be really bummed if the series doesn‘t get completed. 😬

The Path to Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson I

(edited) 3d

GinaKButler @Amiable I love this!! @Kelly326 and I are deciding on our Q2-4 picks, but we‘re starting the year with

Napoleon: A Life

Laughterhp I totally failed at this in 2024, bring it on 2025! 3d

Amiable @GinaKButler I think I have that book on my e-reader -- looking forward to hearing your and @kelly326 's thoughts on it! 2d

Amiable @Laughterhp No worries-- “War & Peace“ will always be there. Waiting. Patiently. While staring at you in an inscrutable Russian way. 😀 2d

Cuilin Reading Les Mis and some Dickens 🩵 2d

daena I am thinking of finally jumping in and reading a qualifying chunkster

The Luminaries

Amiable @daena Oh, nice! That one is still in my pile. Would love to hear your thoughts on it ! 2d

Amiable @Cuilin 😍 I really should tackle “Bleak House” at some point. 2d

daena Bleak House is also on my list for this challenge @Cuilin @Amiable 2d

Sace I‘m going to try to read more chunksters this year! 1d

Amiable @Sace Hooray! 🎉 🥳 1d

AnnCrystal 📚I'm joining on🥳👍💝. 1d

Amiable @AnnCrystal Yay!! 🎉🥳 1d
