Why read a Mammoth? (A book over 800 pages)

On Booktube a "mammoth" is the term used for a book over 800 pages long. March of the Mammoths is a Booktube event designed to encourage us to pick up and start a "mammoth" in the month of March. March of the Mammoths is the brainchild of Jason ‪@OldBluesChapterandVerse‬

In this video I look at what I might read for March of the Mammoths and also the benefits of reading long books.
