Probably Ulysses by James Joyce. I don't actually know how many pages there are, but it felt like I wasted three years of my life reading it. (It was required for a class).

I've read all of Les Miserables, that's probably the longest novel. I've also read Pillars of the Earth, I can't remember how long that one was, but it must have been around or over 800 pages.

My longest and coincidentally my very first book was of 948 pages. It's Yugandhar, based on Lord Krishna's life. Ironically, I was forced by my father to read it. I resented him then, but now I love him for the same coz I have re-read the book many times by now. It has become a cure for my spoilt mood and depressed and helpless state.

The longest book that I have read yet is Shrimanyogi, based on The king Shivaji. It is an awesome book and everyone would definitely love it. It also gives the deep knowledge about the relation between Shivaji and Sambhaji (Shivaji's son).

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

I had no idea how long it was because it was on my original kindle which doesn't show page numbers. I was so shocked when I found out it was 650+ pages because I could have kept reading. Still one of my all time favorite books

I recently read 'The Stand' by Stephen King which was more than a thousand pages. This would be the longest book I've ever read.

The Flounder by Gunter Grass. I loved reading it so the length did not bother me at all.

My longest read is 'IT' by Stephen King. I read it in High School I think, finished it in about 2 days. I was hooked.

I tried to read Atlas Shrugged but that didn't work out. The longest book that I can remember reading was Five Nights At Freddy's: The Fourth Closet.

The longest book I've ever read was Inheritance by Christopher Paolini which was is 849 pages long. This is the last book in the Inheritance Cycle by Paolini. For all of you dragon enthusiasts, this is a really good series! It definitely takes commitment because each book is over 500 pages.

A Storm of Swords from the Game of Thrones collection. It was 864 pages, although it felt like much less!
