Stephen Kotkin's, Stalin: Volume I: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928, is almost 1,000 pages long, including notes and the bibliography. I've got not quite 200 pages to go, and I'm enjoying it.
I think I'm going to stay on Russian history, and especially Soviet Marxism-Leninism. I've got a few books I need to order from Amazon, but in the meanwhile I've got Orlando Figes', A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924, on my shelf.
I think I might give it a go when I'm done with Kotkin, which should be in about two or three days, heh.
