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

I think it was Stephen King's "The Stand", several times. Reply #281. Oct 31 10, 12:41 PM |

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand. 1200 pages in really small type. The Bible cover to cover. (SPOILER - the butler did it.) Reply #282. Oct 31 10, 1:28 PM |

"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky "Tom Joes" by Henry Fielding I don't know which one is longest! Reply #283. Dec 23 10, 12:45 PM |

Creedy, I read The Pilgrim's Progress a couple of months ago and you are right, it is boring. I wouldn't say it is a long book but it feels like an eternity when reading it. Reply #284. Dec 29 10, 8:04 PM |

Might I add that I didn't read it as any means of punishment, but now that I have, I feel that I should be allowed to do something naughty as a reward. Reply #285. Dec 29 10, 8:07 PM |

Either The Stand which was over 1100 pages or It which was again over 1100 pages. Reply #289. Jan 07 11, 3:48 PM |

Don't know if it was the longest but it still feels like it was the longest. As a child I decided to read each volume of our encyclopedia set. I only got through 2 books before quitting. It was too boring. Reply #290. Jan 15 11, 11:55 PM |

The Bible, and, I would guess this would count, read through the entire Narnia series that was bound into one volume. Reply #292. Jan 28 11, 10:55 PM |

Interesting question . I like big novels because you usually get to know the characters really well. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (1400 + pp) or Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (1200 + pp) Reply #297. Jul 22 11, 4:27 PM |

E. Gibbon's Decline and fall of the Roman Empire, unabridged. But for sheer pleasure, Shelby Foote's history 'The Civil War'. Read it four times now and I know that sooner or later, I shall go back to it and delve in yet again. Reply #300. Oct 10 11, 7:03 PM |
