Word count

[PoeknowsProse]

Apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum.

I'm looking for a webpage that lists the word count of well known books. Does anyone know of such a website? I ask because I'm writing a novella and I'd like to compare its length with some others that I have read. I know a novella is between 17,500 and 40,000 words, but it would be nice to reference individual books so I can get a feel for it.

Thanks.

There may be such a place, but it's barely worth the trouble. Figure 300 words to a page for published works. That can also be stated as 1800 characters per page.

If the books are up on LitNet or some other site, you could copy and paste them into a word processing program and check the word count that way.
