What's the longest book you ever read?

[Captain_Caveman]

What's the longest/biggest book you ever read from beginning to end?

was it a Mr. Men book or the entire Encyclopædia Britannica from A-Z?

or something else...?

 

[Inverse Skies]

If a book series doesn't count (and I'm guessing it doesn't) then it would be The Stand By Stephen King, around 1400 pages long. And I've read it four times. A very good book that one.

 

[Wodahs22]

I believe it was Wizards First Rule in the Sword of Truth series

 

[PegasusJF]

Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy

 

[Teh_Doomage]

I would have to say really any of the canon Tom Clancy Novels....they average between 500-1500 pages each, depending on if they hard or soft back....

I have read the Bible, which is really long with small text....does that count?

 

[Jedamethis]

The longest single book was a bout 766 pages long, but I once read about 3000 pages in a day, from 5 books

 

[LongAndShort]

War and Peace. That was a fucking struggle. It was a hell of a book though.

 

[Captain_Caveman]

I have read the Bible, which is really long with small text....does that count?

if you read the entire thing from cover to cover, yes.

Amazon has the king james version listed at 1392 pages

I read most of Evolution (1600pgs) by Stephen Baxter, but the biggest one I finished would be Speaker for the Dead (800pgs) by Orson Scott Card.

 

[Chariot238]

If a book series doesn't count (and I'm guessing it doesn't) then it would be The Stand By Stephen King, around 1400 pages long. And I've read it four times. A very good book that one.

I'll add a second King: It. Around 1000 pages, so not quite as awesome.

 

[Redingold]

The Lord of the Rings in a single book.

 

[Queen Michael]

The Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en. 1800 pages, each of which was a delight.

Second longest was The Count of Monte Cristo; 1700 pages.

 

[Captain_Caveman]

For me it was a 1996 issue of High Times weighing in at a whopping 92 pages. But i admit i only looked at the pictures

 

[lostclause]

Either one of the Wheel of Time books or Atlus Shrugged, I'm not sure which would be longer but probably Atlus Shrugged.

 

[inhuMANATEE]

im not sure, probably one of the Dark Tower books

 

[Inverse Skies]

I'll add a second King: It. Around 1000 pages, so not quite as awesome.

I actually like It better than The Stand. They're both amazing books but It was probably more original.

 

[traceur_]

The Dreaming Void. 647 pages with 23.4cm by 15.3cm pages.

I think I've read longer, but factoring page size, The Dreaming Void had the most words.

 

[Queen Michael]

I'll add a second King: It. Around 1000 pages, so not quite as awesome.

I actually like It better than The Stand. They're both amazing books but It was probably more original.

It has a clown that kills children; and that's why it's better.

 

[Beartrucci]

Eldest, the sequel to Eragon.

 

[Inverse Skies]

It has a clown that kills children; and that's why it's better.

It isn't a clown, it just enjoys appearing as a clown because children aren't frightened of clowns and it has a warped sense of humour. What It really is I still think is one of the most imaginative and amazing things I have ever read.
