ONLY? I think making it that far puts you easily in the 90th percentile.
Well, the whole novel is 3,000 pages long. I took it with me on a trip (when studying abroad in Austria). I didn't have any other books (just Volume 1 of 3). I really wanted to like it. I kept expecting something to happen, besides 5 page descriptions of him walking. Nope.
Later I even tried to start Volume 2 for some reason. One of the first sentences went on for seemingly 3 pages. That was it. Game over, man. game over.
