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?

Diana Gabaldon's The Fiery Cross has 1412 pages and is 2.5 inches thick in paperback. Of course it's book 5 in a series of 6, all of which I've read, probably about 6 -7,000 pages in all.
All were in paperback - I don't think I could lift them in hardback!

Probably LOTR although Idon't know how many pages that is.

Les Miserables felt like the longest book I've read, but that was probably because there were lots of bits I couldn't get into.

the longest book i've read all the way through more than once has to be LOTR, but as someone said earlier it didn't seem that long to me as I just love reading I go into my own little world and completely forget everything and anyone.

It would have to be Paradise Lost by Milton. It's not as long as LOTR or GWTW but it's a bugger to get thru.

War and Peace, many many pages in tiny tiny print, but I did it, and by the time I was finished, I actually enjoyed it.

I can't remember which was longer, The Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons, both by Dan Brown, but one of those would be my longest.

I read "Sacajawea", too. Good book! 1,320 pages according to Barnes & Noble.

Chronicles of Narnia, Mists of Avalon, Harry Potter the Order of the Phoenix, Stephen Kings: IT, The Stand, and The Talisman (cowritten with Peter Straub).

I'm ready to re-read Mists of Avalon (exceptional tale of early British Isles)and The Talisman (I just learned there is also a Talisman II).

All Harry Potter Books 8 times each-if that counts for something!
I've also the Inheritence Series 17 times! If you add all the pages together i guess it could count for 20,128--i'm pretty sure that Eragon has 497 and Eldest has 687--so 20,128 should be right-i used a calculator-LOL

As far as fiction goes it is probably LOTR, though I cant be positive as I have read several books.
