Ditto, War and Peace definitely springs to mind. I read it when I was a teenager and really enjoyed it despite length. I think as long as the book is well written you stay absorbed no matter how long it is. Reply #63. Mar 04 06, 6:53 AM |

The longest book I ever read was Little Women by Louisa May Alcott when I was 12. One of these days I'm going to attempt to read Gone with the Wind. I loved the movie. Reply #65. Mar 11 06, 1:24 PM |

I'm not sure about actual length, but Tolstoy's War & Peace is up there, as are Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. James Joyce's Ulysses was not really so long as it seemed. I thought I would never get to the end! Reply #69. Mar 21 06, 2:19 PM |

The Lord of the Rings, although that is three separate books so it doesn't really count. Other than that, I think it's "Darksong". The second book in a series by Isobelle Carmody. Well worth the read. I don't know when the third and final book is coming out, but I'm anticipating it! Reply #71. Apr 10 06, 6:17 AM |

Pikekinggirl, you'll whiz through The Stand. It's long but so well written it'll grab you from the start. I couldn't put it down. I too have read the Diana Gabaldon series, varying in page length anywhere from 800 to 1100 pages, but her last one is a real slog. Three times I've picked it up but I can't seem to get past page 29 before losing interest. I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet someday. And Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is so huge I now use it as a bookend! Reply #72. Apr 10 06, 8:37 AM |

Harry Potter. Only around 700 pages but you know. Haven't had the oppotunity to read any thick books really. Reply #73. Apr 19 06, 3:12 PM |

If I had to guess (which I am doing) - it would be Stephen King's unabridged version of The Stand. I just checked - it's 1153 pages. Reply #75. May 04 06, 1:38 PM |

The Bible. Also "Forever Amber" -- over 900 pages, but very good. Reply #76. May 04 06, 2:18 PM |

"Moby D%*k" not for page length, but in terms of suffering. And they won't let me post the name of the book! Reply #77. May 20 06, 2:37 AM |

Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset, it was over a thousand pages. Often published as a 3-volume set. Reply #78. May 24 06, 10:13 PM |

Probably "War and Peace" by Tolstoy which had nearly 1500 pages and took nearly fourteen hours to read. Regards, Tin Reply #79. Jun 09 06, 11:25 PM |

"To Green Angel Tower" by Tad Williams. 1066 pages in hardcover format. I notice that the publishers now split it into two books. The worst thing (or best, since I love the stories), is that it was book three in a trilogy, the first book was 638 pages(HC), and the second was 569(HC). I had been hoping that the last would be around the same size. Reply #80. Jun 09 06, 11:46 PM |
