Fame in the blink of an eye: how one man wrote his remarkable life story

How many words equate to a long book?

War And Peace by Tolstoy at 587,287, or the 210,975 which comprise the more recently acclaimed Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel? How about Blinkin' 'Ell by Stevie Fisher, 33,000 words?

Only 33,000 I hear you say, but although Tolstoy had a quill and Mantel uses pen or keyboard, Fisher's autobiography was written by blinking his left eye at letters on a computer screen and the title of his book becomes apparent.
