I know you've always been curios. How does the #curl code base compare to a few great literary works of art when it comes to number of words?

Happy to be at service:

I opted to not include the full "In Search of Lost Time" series (by Marcel Proust), which clocks in at 1,267,069 words apparently...
@bagder in Standard Ebook’s catalogue, curl is somewhere between the full collection of Tolstoy’s short fiction, and Dumas’s The Vicomte de Bragelonne: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks?page=118&sort=length
