What would you consider a big book ?

[AmyK1215]

I would consider a big book because I like books that are time consuming. I love getting lost in a book and reading for hours.

[garima597]

The book which doesn't interest me will be a big book for me because no matter how much i try i will not be able to finish that book.

[Bukari]

As for me, a book that has over 300 pages is a big one.

Cassandra Clare's bks are huge. But also, George R.R. Martin's and Diana Gabaldon I guess.

[Monet_va]

I agree. At least 500 pages but I'd even go as far to say that over 700 pages is big. It also depends on the font size and spacing of course.

[JennyorAlice]

For me, it has to be anything that is 500 pages and up is definitely a big book in my opinion.

[April Ruvs]

I'm going to go with a 1000 pages and above also it will depend on the font used. If really small then 500 pages

[cdhundley]

It depends how dense it is as well. There are short-ish books with a tremendous amount of allusion and symbolism and such that looking up things makes them feel much longer than otherwise. It's not the best example but Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco, which is 640 pages, is so dense, it might as well be 1,000+.

I agree with the majority here, 500 pages and up is easily a big book. Would probably hurt if you hit someone with it, haha.

700 pages or more

[racelaine]

I love big books, so if it has over 500 pages I'm usually pretty excited. I agree with previous posters that it varies by content though. If you are unhooked it will drag by and a 400 page book will feel like 1,000. Also how fast you're reading, if you can speed through something, then it's not as daunting and it doesn't feel huge. Even if it could knock you out.

[Mrunal Tikekar]

It depends on the font, the overall size of the book, margins, etc. But for the most common formatting, anything more than 400 pages is a big book for me.

[amal_786]

I would consider any book with more than 700 pages big. But when I am forced to read something I normally would not for school, even a 200 page book seems monstrous.

[Brandt]

I agree with a lot of responses from above. Once we hit about the 400-500 page range we are talking about a big book.

[dorebri2020]

I often say that any book with more than 500 pages is a big book, but it depends on the font size and size of the page as well.
