Alternatively:

ls -l | less

Because "less is more". With more functionality, ie. you can page up, 
page down, line up, line down, search for things, isolate specific 
lines, save stuff to files... and, er, more :)

less is my pager of choice; I tend to feel a bit like my legs have been 
chopped off without it.
