Wow you must be very interested in history! I hate history books, I don't mind the class in general but I've always found history books to be written very dully....

War and Peace. My dad thought I should educate myself on important matters. I do not recommend it. *shudder*

the longest book ive read was the last harry potter book....
i dont like long books much =P

Eww War and Peace, how mean of your dad to get you to read that....

Harry Potter did get pretty long but it wasn't too hard of a read which is nice

Anything by Diana Gabaldon was long, as well as most of the R.A Salvaatore Drizzt novels. The bigest books I currently own are a three in one edition of The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop and a large collection of Osar Wilde's writings.


I still have yet to finish the last one.

The longest book I've read is Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey at 900+ pages.
Another book that was so long for me that I didn't finish it was Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy at around 800 pages.
I'm also reading the Bible, and I'm stuck in Genesis. :P

The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin

Longest flippin' book I've ever bloody read.

So it seems to me that most of the long stuff people read is fiction, more specifically fantasy, I wonder if that kind of thing is just naturally longer, I also wonder if I'm just noticing those titles more cuz I'm such a fantasy nut

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice 1038 pages and Eldest by Christopher Paolini 999 pages. :\ That's only within the past five years, I didn't keep notes of the books I had to read while in school. I'm currently working on Anna Karenina by Leo Tokstoy 864 pages but it's rather dry.

I tend to do series books more often since they are easier to carry around. XD

Oh yeah, thank goodness for paperbacks that fit into purses!

the pillow book of cordelia kenn. And the entire trilogy of lord of the rings, part of which I read on a road trip.

The longest book that I've read was Les Miserables.
It was over 1000 pages...and I loved every single word!

Longer books turn me off because I feel like I will never get to the end of the book and it will take wwaayy too long to find out the ending xD

Les Miserables was a very good book, especially for something that was required reading for school

the longest books that i have read were:
1. Count of Monte Cristo- Alexander Dumas 1745 pages i think..
2. The Last Cavalier- Dumas 751 but really really small text
3. Mists of Avalon- Marion Zimmer Bradley
4. Gone with the Wind
5. The Odessey and the Illiad.

oh! and Les Miserables which i agree with FarieFaye that it is a super amazing book!!

Haha I remember watching Gone with the Wind in middle school, it probably should have been my type of movie but I think it's just too hard to pay attention to something that long in school, you know how they break it up and you watch a bit each day, it just sucks. I only had to read parts of the Odyssey or the Illiad for school thank goodness, and I passed all the tests about it because of Wishbone <3

The longest book I have ever read was the Magyk book, I think. I don't usually remember the ammount of pages but if I remember correctly Magyk had over 900 me thinks :P

the longest book i have ever read would be the twilight series

WAR and PEACE i havent read it but my sis has kinda

I don't remember, though Memoirs of a Geisha is most definitely shorter than Harry Potter.
Although you may have just read a shorter version o___O
I think the longest book would be.... well, I read a dictionary when I was really bored, does that count?

I wonder dose Shakespeare's Complete works count or the Dictionary? Because if it dose then that is the longest book I've read. If not probably the Deathly Hallows then.

The longest book I read was Harry Potter. I like the books that are in the middle of short and long, so an average size book.

I read an UNABRIDGED verision of 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea when I was in seventh grade I'm not saying it's the longest I read but I read it in one night and I know it was over 1000 pages with really tiny print it was a very old copy.
