I hadn't seen this yet when I responded to the post
about The Far Pavilions. The title of the book by M.M.
Kaye I have on my shelf to read is Shadow of the Moon.
It's 798 pages. Two books I enjoyed, one of which I
read and the other I read while validating, are
Sacajawea and Hanta Yo. Sacajawea is 1416 pages and
Hanta Yo is 844. Sacajawea is ostensibly biography but
reads like a novel. Both are in the collection. The
Speckled Monster, also in the collection, is a mere
508 pages--nonfiction but reads like a novel. Alison
Weir's Six Wives of Henry VIII (under Henry VII--I'll
let Claire know) is 892 pages. 

I guess you have more than enough to keep you
busy--but maybe not. smile
