Reading through Worm, an original novel posted in serial form over about two years, after Eliezer's fervent recommendation in the HPMOR author's notes. It's a single novel of about 1,750,000 words. And it's brilliant. It's the story of a world with superheroes, with a teenage girl as the viewpoint character. Tropes reminiscent of Miracleman.
Good, and so tense it's a superstimulus hazard.
I wouldn't normally put good books in the superstimulus hazard category, but when they're that long, you can't just take an evening and finish it.
I read it over a bit less than a week. I thought "this is taking a while, how long is it ... oh, 10 really fat books or 25 normal-sized ones. OK."
It's a touch over half as long as The Wheel of Time.
But finished rather more quickly.
