A STARZ Original Series From Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore: Outlander

[Blupiper]

Let me just offer that the "romance" classification of the first Outlander book was not accurate by the conventions of the genre. I commend them to any male members of the species who may have refrained on that account.

Edited to add: if you like your books on paper, I recommend the trade paperback format over the mass-market paperback. bigger pages == less obese volume == much easier to hold. I was given a paperback copy of Outlander (which has long since disappeared on long-term loan), and my copies are trade paperback or autographed hardbound.

I do love me some long books (see also Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle).

You might also check if your local library offers e-books as an option. I checked out from the library the latest book in the series and read it. A full-sized hardback at about 850 pages will give your forearms a good workout. After finishing, I noticed that they had a copy available in e-book format, so the lifting would have been a whole lot lighter. Live and learn.
