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?

The Lord of the Rings at 1000+ pages is the longest for me, I think. of course, if you define longest as time it takes to read the book, I will put in my vote for A Tale of Two Cities.

Well Im not too sure because I have read all of the Lord of the Rings books but I have also read others like the Adult version of Harry POtter which is pretty long too.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was pretty huge. I've also read Dickens' Bleak House, which I loved! But if Lord of the Rings counts as one book, that would have to be the longest.

"Lord of the Rings" in one volume. Over 1000 pages.
There are several fantasy writers that have a penchant for long books.
"To Green Angel Tower" by Tad Williams is over 1000 pages too. Steven Erikson and George R. R. Martin also have books with over 900 pages.
I love long books.

The Lord of the Rings, was one of the longest books i've read. Also the Outlander series by Diane Gabaldon. The Stand by Stephan King. If the story is good i love long books.

At over pages the longest would be IT by Stephen King

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand...loved the story, but question the philosophy behind it

Just reading the replies here I realise I've read quite a few long books, and none of them seemed that long to me.
Maia, GWTW, Scarlett, un-abridged Stand, Song of Ice and Fire, Mists of Avalon,all the Harry Potters etc.
I've started War and Peace about 4 times but never managed to finish it yet. Likewise LOTR, it just doesn't do it for me somehow.
I remember reading Watership Down as a kid of around 7 and thinking it was huge but I don't think it actually is really.

The longest book I read was Ender's Shadow, and much more.
