Marathon

I am currently reading this month's family book club choice, The Mists of Avalon... it is almost 900 pages long and very tiny print. I feel like I have been reading it forever, and I'm not even half way done! Not that the book is boring, it's just sooooo long! This is definitely something that is going to take me a very long time to finish...
