I recall being in the Library passing by a few shelves full of his books. Most Herman Wouk books were physically HUGE! The book spines would measure 3.5 inches across on some.
Too much of a challenge for me to even begin.
I had a big enough battle plowing through War & Peace.
You'd find Wouk's books easier going than Tolstoy - and I don't mean that in a negative way - while historically detailed and accurate.
