In Defense of Really Long Books
Nov 3 · 3 min read
Not too long ago, I bought Alan Moore’s Jerusalem off the shelf at Powell’s. It was on sale… which is to, say, under 30$… and as I smiled at the cashier and hefted all 1200 pages of it, dropped it into my backpack and then realized I couldn’t get the backpack on.
Kidding.
Mostly.

It was a long walk to the train station from the bookstore, I’ll say that.
