I am not reading a Top 100 Book again this week, as I'm still reading Flags of Our Fathers. However, I thought I'd share some "fun" facts about the Top 100 List that I figured out when I was bored one day at work... hmm, which is most days at work, haha.
If you were to read all the books, you would read approximately 37,549 pages of text, depending on the book versions (meaning publication date, text size, etc).
The shortest book on the list is (#21) Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, at just 80 pages.
The longest book on the list is (#40) The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, at 1216 pages total. Although it is published as one book, many people know it as being split into three parts. For a book that comes in one huge "chunk," Ayn Rand's (#92) Atlas Shrugged is the next longest at 1200 pages.
The most common page count is 256, with seven books with that number of pages.
I hope you enjoyed these "fun" facts! Happy Reading!
