Hey, What is the longest book you have ever read?

[kathylapan]

I guess it was either pillars of the earth, which is about 1000 pages, or a distant mirror, which is about 900. Depends on the edition you get really.

I am almost done with the Years of rice and salt, which covers such a long period of time and so much STORY it seems super long but it's 784 pages.

The Bible initially, but usually 500 pages.

The Bible initially, but usually 500 pages.

I forgot to consider the Bible. I think of it as 66 books lol so that's about 1900 pages.

Neal Stephenson's SevenEves was actually the longest book I have read. 861 pages of goodness.

My biggest book was War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. It was an anniversary present one year from my wife, which kept me busy for six months.

Not only did the story of the advancing French Amy on the Russian elite keep me engrossed, but the fact that he wrote this in a time without Word or spell check.

What an inspiration.

I read the war of the worlds when I was in 7th grade for an assignment. I'm not sure how many pages it was, but I just could not get into it and it felt like it would never end!

[Emma1904]

For me it was

War and Peace
Atlas Shrugged
And The Ladies Of The Club

[GandalfTheFey]

GRRMs tomes and the Silmarillion.

Same as many, Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix. About 870, I believe if I remember correctly. Lovely book, though. J.K. Rowling sure knows how to capture an audience.

Pillars of the Earth for me. It took me 2 years to read because I had to set it down so many times. Outside of that the Game of Thrones books felt extra long but I'm pretty sure they were only in the 900 range.

I read 'War and Peace' by Tolstoy, then, there was 'Sarum' by Edward Rutherfurd, 'Far Pavilions' by M.M. Kaye, 'Chesapeake' by James Michener and '..And Ladies of the Club' by Helen Hooven Santmyer' I don't know which of them is the longest. I just remember them being so thick

[Nina B]

Musashi...I don't remember the name of the author but it was about 1500 words

[CBTeasley]

Atlas Shrugged - and worth everyone of the 1021 pages in my copy!

[steampunk_girl]

*Slowly shrugs*
Order of the Phoenix I think was the longest Harry Potter novel

[Sarah G]

Mine would have to be dragon master by Chris bunch. The version I got was all 3 books together and was massive! It was around 1500 maybe more
