Same here. Paperback 1077 pages. Took me ages. Loved it, though.

To Green Angel Tower, the conclusion to the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Trilogy by Tad Williams. The paperbacks had to be broken into 2 800-900 page books, while the original hardcover is 1100 pages. Or maybe the complete and unabridged The Stand by King. Not sure.

The longest book I've read, page wise, was Christopher Paolini's 'Brisingr', I've yet to read 'Inheritance'.
The longest book time wise, and still reading, is Max Brooks' 'World War Z'. I read this book in the car, even for 5 minute travels, so it takes a while, but I've nearly finished.

I am not completely sure. The longest book I have read recently may be The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings at 800 pages.

According to my Goodreads account it was The Witching Hour, by Anne Rice at 1,207, I honestly don't remember it being that long.

I think perhaps any of Tad William's books. They usually run 800-900 pages I believe.

I'm not sure. But i think R.R. Martin A clash of Kings. But surely, A Storm of Swords will be the longest when i finish it

1092 pages, which was Under The Dome, by Stephen King. It took me a few weeks to read through the entire thing, but it was well worth it. It didn't help that at that time, I was also reading a few other books for my English class, and then another just for fun book at the same time.

The longest book I have read is Under the Dome by Stephen King. I believe it was just over 1000 pages.

I think that this is probably my longest read a well. And some comments about the small text was right on! I think that if it had been normal-sized text, it would have been way longer!
