What's the longest book you ever read?

[Queen Michael]

Hopscotch and House of Leaves are pretty long books, made to feel longer by the fact they're not really read in any particular order.

Wow, I thought I was the only one here who'd read Hopscotch.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Probably stone of tears by terry goodkind.

 

[Steel Ronin]

The Complete Works of Shakespear in Original Shakespearian English.it's about 800-900 pages.

 

[RyQ_TMC]

If we only count single tomes, then the Bible is the longest I've read, followed by the LOTR trilogy and "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoevsky (which I consider to be the best thing I've ever read).

Oh, also "God's War: a New History of the Crusades" by Christopher Tyerman, and a history of Australia by a guy whose name I can't recall.

"War and Peace" could count, but my edition was published as 4 books.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Red Mars - Kim Stanley Robinson: 530 something pages.

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

The Heath Anthology of American literature, 2675 pages.

 

[shazlor]

Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And damn. I'm not sure how many pages it is, but it's an extremely large book, my version came in two editions, probably due to spine structure. You can read it for free too cause it's open source if anyone cares to, wack it into google. Good read but... yeah, takes some commitment.
Oh, and if series, I've read all the Wheel of Time books. But that's not that much longer really.

 

[Orange Monkey]

Uff thats not fair! I read a book like every day >_<

Off the top of my head, probably Brisingr or Eldest not sure which ones longer but they're of the same series.

Wow, I thought I was the only one here who'd read Hopscotch.

Nope, there's a whopping two of us!

I'm a big fan of Cortázar's short stories more than anything, but Hopscotch was a mighty good read. I'd have counted his short stories as the longest book I've read, but the edition I have is split into two volumes so that's cheating I guess.

Two volumes? You're not Swedish, are you? Because I am, and a couple of years ago, they released his complete short stories in two volumes here.

 

[AcePilot]

Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan abnett around 1000 pages took me a year to read when i was 12 i loved warhammer at the time so i really enjoyed it.

 

[RanD00M]

The color of Magic by Terry Pratchet.To be honest,that is the only book i have ever taken time from my gaming to read.

I'm British. But I think we're talking about the same two volumes. It's a great collection, though I prefer the first volume. He is by far one of my favourite writers.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I'm in the process of reading War and Peace,

but as for one I've finished, I couldn't tell you, they're all pretty damn long.

Perhapes a History of Modern Britain, or the Last Tsar by Radzinsky

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I've read the Bible, quite a bit of Les Miserables, and some Tom Clancy.
Also, I'm told Lord of the Rings is supposed to be one book, so that probably tops all of them.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Eldest, the sequel to Eragon.

I know short posts are frowned upon, but this

 

[Ambi]

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky, most likely.

 

[Sethzard]

The longest book Feist has written, he writes in small print
Either that or one of the inheritence books
