It’s not often that one has the patience (or even the desire) to read an enormous book, but while we’re homebound, these 500+-page books feel like just the ticket
Photo: Courtesy of the Retailers It’s not often that one has the patience to read an enormous book. In terms of time and energy, committing to a 500–1,000-page volume is not unlike applying yourself to a serious relationship. You do not simply read a book this long — you live in it for a while.
$19 at Bookshop Buy 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami I gave up on Murakami’s 900-page brick of a dystopian novel last February because it was cold and dark out and this isn’t a warm hug of a story; rather, it’s like a mushroom trip that runs uncomfortably long. In spite of that , it only took me a few pages to get sucked back into Murakami’s uncanny Tokyo.
From $16 at Bookshop Buy Middlemarch by George Eliot For the past year, George Eliot’s Middlemarch, a verified classic that supposedly paints a rich portrait of 19th-century provincial life in a fictitious English town, has been at the top of my list of books to read. However, I’ve long been putting it off, seeing as it clocks in at almost 900 pages.

The Best South Korean Beauty Lip Tints Perfect For InstagramTint Type: stain\r\nShades Available: 5\r\nWear: all day, baby\r\nYes, Chateau Labiotte is a Korean makeup brand moonlighting as a fake French winery. And yes, the result is the cutest makeup vessel I\u2019ve ever seen\u2014a bizarrely lifelike wine bottle for ants. But this is also the perfect lip tint. This tint looks and lasts like a traditional stain, but doesn\u2019t have that bitter taste or drying, astringent feel typical in other products. It\u2019s also easy to apply: the sheer formula takes its time to dry down, so you can blend outwards for a popsicle look or fix any spots out of bounds. (You can even dab the doe-foot applicator along your cheeks for a flush that lasts.) It didn\u2019t grab on to my dry spots in a gross looking way. And, OK, have you seen the packaging?! The shade Merlot Burgundy RD03, a translucent stunner somewhere between plum and brick, is the one to grab.
