Hardly a quick read (4)

I believe the answer is:

saga

(Other definitions for saga that I've seen before include "Icelandic or Norse story" , "Epic story" , "Epic tale" , "Medieval Icelandic legend" , "Flag associated with a" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
