Just by looking at my books it would the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I am not sure how I read that in less than two days when it first came out...

I have a dictionary that's probably 6-7" thick. Next is Strong's Concordance.

The thickest one I own is Sacajawea at 1320 pages. The thickest I've read would be The Way of Kings at 1280 pages.

P.S. The actual biggest book I own is the Webster's New American Dictionary the Deluxe Edition at 1237 pages. It's eight and one half inches by eleven and a quarter. It's a little more that three inches wide. (A big book)

The thickest book I own right now is Gone With The Wind not sure of exact page count but it takes up a lot of room on my bookshelf.

My thickest book is " Leonard Martin's 2014 Movie Guide "with 1644 pages, I do not use it very often as now days I just Google in the name of the movie, it is a lot easier than juggling this big brick!!

Thickest book I have that isn't fun reading is an Intermediate Accounting textbook, but as for books read for enjoyment, that honor goes to The Stand by Stephen King.

I own a copy of the Bible but I haven't read it from cover to cover, so I'd say the thickest book I own (and read) is a copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged (1168 pages).
