This has been on my TBR since I was a teenager! When I saw this read-a-long, I thought it was a great way to finally tackle this tome before the film re-make hits the theatre in September!

My version is this one, published by New English Library in 1987. It has 1,116 pages.

I may switch between listening to the audiobook and reading, since this book is so long! My library offers the audiobook on Overdrive, and it clocks in at 44 h and 53 min. Wow! I'm not even sure that I'll finish it during the lending period, LOL!
