What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Well,
None of the books are big in any sort until you fear by seeing the number of pages that it has…!
I have read a whole lot,
Well not just in English or Hindi but Panjabi too…!
But,
These days all I can do is hear the audiobooks because of my tight schedule which forces me to have less than usual time to read a physical book even though I have a lot of them that need my attention…!
And whenever I see a book that I like,
Or have it saved in my notes app I buy from where ever I see it,
To be honest I got one which was a switch of pace for me,
Which was Maus…!
I found this book deep within Chandni Chowk as I was out on buying some industrial equipment which I could carry on person…!
(It was two 0-25mm outside micrometers…!)
And,
As I was returning on the main Chandi chowk road from Nai Sarak(translates to new road)
I found this khokha that had newspapers and behind him were these metal cages and I found the title that I wanted and it was the maus…!
So I set that book free from the cage and put it in my bag and brought it home with me…!
And it became one of the longest read because earlier I read only through lines and paragraphs and this was a comic style book instead of a traditional type and the pictures gave me an insight into how things were and made my life easier and difficult at the same time…!
Because the ability to imagine the state in which a character is— is taken away when you have pictures to prove it…!
That is why maus was a longer read than usual for me…!
Plus,
It explores holocaust survival and how people developed after facing it all in the form of a comic book and how relationships built when people and their loved ones offed themselves to save themselves from the wrath of the oppressors…!
A book that tells us how a person and personality develops when they are forced and they have to watch their race eradicated…!
Song of the day is here
My go to artist dropped another one of the gems…!
Mood enhancer
Literally a mood enhancer how Gagg-e spits and paints a picture of how people are these days…!
And he talks about how people compare him to others but he’s someone you can’t compare with anyone ever…!
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍🤍🤍
