What is the thickest book you own?

[NanoWasabi]

I would say my family's Lord of the Rings collection is our thickest book, but I feel like that's kind of a cop out. You can't really say that it's your thickest book, when it's actually three books in one. Our The Three Musketeers is pretty thick I guess, but I haven't seen our book shelf for a while, since I live at school now.

Probably in a single book (not a compilation or anthology) the thickest one I own would be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but it isn't the thickest one I have read by far. That would probably be one of Brandon Sanderson's books.

Tough one unless I actually verify actual total pages of my top four largest books.

Top 4:

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, all together in one book. Probably could knock someone out cold with it if I had to.

Storm of Swords, successfully put a hole in my wall when I threw it cause I got upset when George R. R. Martin screwed one my my favorite characters over.

Dance with Dragons, after putting a hole in my wall with Storm of Swords I would just put the book away for a few days when I would get pissed at George R. R. Martin screwing over a character yet again. I have to give it to the guy, he is extremely talented in screwing the good guys over.

Under the Dome by Stephen King, not sure if this one could put a whole it the wall as it never managed to piss me off enough to warrant being thrown.

The thickest book I own is an anthology of Issac Asimov books. I don't even know the total page count because it resets for each little book.

[GKCfan]

One of the longest books I've read is the "Collected Stories of William Trevor." It's an excellent anthology of a master craftsman's tales.

The 1915 edition of Wisconsin Statutes.

It would have to be Parade's End (Vintage Classics) or Sherlock Holmes (B&N Classics Series).

The French " bible " of cooking " The Larousse Gastronomique " a gift from my French husband......( smart move )

[bookowlie]

Other than the Dictionary or Thesaurus, the thickest book I own is The Goldfinch.

[insomniacwithbooks]

The thickest book I own is Edgar Allen Poe Complete Tales and Poems by Edgar Allen Poe!

[Kmikel0509]

I believe that would be The Host.

[Lin2412]

Well, we have a full set of Britannica Encyclopedia volumes. I guess they're the thickest, but probably obsolete already.

Lord of the Rings, also the book that took me the longest to read, not because of how thick it is but I had difficulty concentrating.

[the-ultimate-fangirl]

Lord of the Rings and City of Heavenly Fire are my 2 thickest books!

[rssllue]

The thickest book I own is Edgar Allen Poe Complete Tales and Poems by Edgar Allen Poe!

That is quite the tome isn't it?
