Subject: Longest book you read all through

Posted by: SethMegadefan

I actually read "A Christmas Carol" all the way through. What's the longest book you have read all the way through?

"War and Peace." I think it was longer than the actual war.

I've read most of Tom Clancy's novels. A couple were real behemoths. "Red Storm Rising" and "Executive Orders" were the largest, if I remember correctly.

I guess the fifth Harry Potter book was the longest at 870 pages. However, if you include a book with a collection of short stories, then I suppose that the complete Sherlock Holmes collection was longer. That was 1200+ pages, I believe.

One of the Harry Potter books. I can't remember which.

I'm with Rizeeve. "Atlas Shrugged," at about 1100 pages, is the longest book I have ever read (at least that I can remember).

Mick Foley's autobiograph 'Have A Nice Day' is the longest book I've read. It's over 200,000 words long

I'm thinking, The Stand was probably the longest. I read that a couple of times!

"The Stand" by Stephen King is a very long book, and I read it back in high school.

I read all the way through Child Star by Shirley Temple Black, and even though it's only 520 pages, the print is tiny tiny, and the pages are super long!

Oops, forgot, I also read HP 5 which is 870 pages, but it only took me one day.

It wasn't the longest page-wise, but The Silmarillon had to be one of the more tedious books I have read. We're going about the torture at Guantanamo all wrong. No need to water-board, strip and humiliate, etc. We'll just make them read that book. However, THAT, Congress might have some issues with.

The Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix took me, I think, two days tops.

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet.

Absolutely brilliant. I read it when I was about 19 and have recently re read it at the age of 36 and still loved it.

The Bible. Yes, I've read it from Genesis to Revelation. I was around 13 or 14 and was stuck at my aunt's house because I was sick and my parents were overseas. I haven't done it again and I don't plan to do it ever again (read it from cover to cover that is).
