MODERATORS
As you could tell from the books I listed... I read high fantasy and epics lol. Foundation was the lightest of the bunch but had the slowest reader.
Add in time you have to rewind because something important came up which actually required your attention. Easily 36+ hours. Way of Kings was a monster at 45:30. - 1007 pages.
The Wheel of Time series is made up of 11,898 pages. This amounts to an average of 793.20 pages per book in the series.
Not doing them all. First 4 which are the least page #s: 28:57. 28:23. 24:48, 41:13,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Tower_(series) - 224. 400. 512. 787. 714. 432. 845.
Frank Muller RIP then George Guidall 7:20, 12:47, 18:14, 27:35, 26:20, 14:09, 28:50.

If you like long audiobooks and high fantasy try Malazan. Fair warning that if you like it, it increases the effort you need to start your suspension of disbelief for all other books. At least it did so for me.
