top book, but i never really thought of it as that long. i think i read it in less that 2 weeks. i'd love to read it again but i lost my copy

Summer sisters was fantastic, actually I was bored one day and finished it in one day. lol

But my longest book is Anna Karenina. It frightens me every time I look at my page number and realise how long I still have to read!

The Stand - Revised edition (heaps of stuff added)
And so help me, I received a hardcopy version of all 3 LOTR when I was 8 and I have read the entire thing at least once a year since then.
The Bible
Took one look at A Suitable Boy and when neh.

probably The Bear And The Dragon By Tom Clancy, 1028 pages

little women/little men...they were in one book and i got no idea how long!

If you want something to see you through weeks - A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.

I don't own a copy - but I think it's about 1400 pages. It's not that interesting in my opinion, too many songs and poetry when he isn't that talented. Some people adore it, most don't finish it. But it's definitely up there - particularly if you get a hardcover version.

Strange how some books that are thousands of pages long seem to be over before you start - yet something only a couple of hundred pages drags on for weeks.

romance of three kingdoms
1500 pages i think

I - don't - know!! as a single volume prob LOTR i suppose... though i've a feeling theres a book i'm overlooking...

 

[bluesky100]

I read Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix - but I guess that is sort of an easy read - so probably Angela's Ashes.

 

[~TeLEpAtHeTiC~]

probs LOTR and neverending story lol same as most other ppl

 

[fi_babezy]

probably lotr, but darkfall (isobelle carmody was fairly big),
It also depends on what edition you read- the print and paper type.

 

[ladidid]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for me

 

[t-i-m-m-y]

Toms clancys "executive orders"

 

[todaysonfire]

probably the bible hehe but since i havent read the entire thing then jane eyre, which wasnt long at all. thats quite sad.

 

[lolzieee]

yep.. harry potter and the order of the phoenix

 

[Inhuman]

Neverending story... as far as i remember my edition had small print and ran to approx. 1000 pages

 

[KeypadSDM]

Counting a full series as one book. Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (Plus the extras not by him).

Otherwise, I'm sorry to say it's probably HP&TOOTP. Some of the preludes to Dune are pretty long as well, And of course LOTR.

Don't be sorry to say it. Harry Potter is good.
