War and Peace aside, most of those are pretty breezy reads, so if you’re laid-up sick for a couple weeks with nothing else to do it would be easy to blow through them all.


“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.” Woody Allen


Well and honestly most of War and Peace is pretty easy and pleasant to read as well (I'm setting aside the philosophy-of-history stuff) -- there's just so much of it.


Agreed. But I have literally read most of them in an afternoon at some point, and very much cannot say the same for War and Peace. =)
