In today’s world, we’re always rushing to finish everything quickly. But you know that feeling when you’re deep in a good book that you just don’t want to end? You start to read slower, hang on each word, maybe even re-read a chapter or two. Finding a story that’s worth savoring is like the holy grail for readers...and bonus points if it also happens to be a long read.
