The largest book I own is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It is a whopping 840 pages. I honestly think that I will not own any other books that big again. Of course, the book Inheritance by Paolini is also pretty big. But to me it doesn't matter as much as the size as the content. I don't care how big it is if it is a horrible book.

Definitely the unabridged version of Stephen King's "The Stand". His "Under the Dome" would follow and then my "A Song of Ice and Fire" books.

I have an incredibly old dictionary which is simply huge.

This is a tie for me, between a combined book 3&4 of Pendragon by D.J. Machale, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K.R.

The Lord of the Rings. It's the complete trilogy in one book! I think it's over 1,000 pages.

The Golden Tulip by Rosalind Laker. It's a historical fiction set in Holland. It's a really good book and it's 877 pages.

The thickest book I own is definitely one of the Stephen King books sitting on my bookshelf.

The thickest book I own is the collection of Jane Austen work.. It's really hard to read each book because it is so thick.

Definitely my Gone With The Wind book, and then next up I think would be the sequel Scarlett.

I think, besides the Bible, Pillars of the Earth is the thickest book I currently own.
