Investigating this question started out the moment my eager self tried to pen the answer to a book review challenge. Theme of the day was adding a review of a 400+ page long book we have read or are reading.
Actual Prompt:
“Welcome to Day 06 of #BookReviewBlogChallenge. Today’s challenge is to review any book with 400+ pages.”
The first and only book that came to my mind was Michelle Obama’s Becoming.
What?
That’s it?
I was pretty sure I had read far more novels that were thick and high on the page count.
I wrote my blog post but I had an ego issue now. Surely, a book worm like me had read more books with 400+ pages.
I racked my brains again. Unfortunately, nothing else came to mind. My mind bristled.
Was this what social media and perhaps repetitive reading of DrSeuss/ Berenstain Bears done to me?
Nooooooooooooo!
My bookworm soul thrashed in agony.
The engineer/analyst in me answered : this is simply a matter of looking at the wrong data- we need actual, specific data. How about Googling for 400+ paged books?
