War and Peace and Les Miserables which I both really liked back when I read them in high school. Also The Last of the Mohicans which I don't remember if it was long but it seemed that way because of the old English.

My longest book is
I think it has about 850 pages, but I read it in german and the german version is about 200 pages longer.

Well Twilight SEEMED long...lol, joking.I read a bunch of Robert Jordan books, so THOSE are really long. And of course, I LOVE harry potter, wish the last book had been even longer!
I read the bind up of Lord of the Rings which is the old version with 1100 pages I think, but if you made that book with a readable format(lol) it would be about 2500 pages I swear!
763 pages. Though I'd really love to read the unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo when I have some time...
I've read
,
and
which are all 750-850 pages long, although the print size of the first two are smaller and hitch hikers is technically 5 books, I just bought them bound together. I like challenging books, or books from the 50 books to read before you die list if I'm not reading YA.
a few of mine would be:
Under the Dome 1,072 pages
11/22/63 849 pages
Duma Key 607 pages
Bag of Bones530 pages
Under the Dome 1,072 pages

How did you like Under the Dome? I literally couldn't put it down. Walked around still reading and bumping into things! :D
Possibly the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy Bundle.I'm working on reading it on my Kindle.
When I checked the page count out of sheer curiosity, it showed that the page count was 1700 pages. I was in awe!
Hmmm........I want to say one of the classics, but I can never remember how many pages they are. I think one of The Peter and The Starcatchers series. They were all between 500-600 pages. I don't usually read huge books. Les Miserables the Count of Monte Cristo are all on my to read list, and they are pretty big, I think, but I haven't actually read them yet.
@Erin - I Loved Under the Dome. When ever I got the chance I would read it. I plan on reading it again before the show comes on.

yes - it will be on CBS and I think Steven Spielberg has something to do with it.

I was going to say LOTR as one volume too - I was really little and it was a pain to carry around but worth it :D
The longest book I have ever dread was probably was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling or The Host by Stephanie Meyer!! Both really good reads that you can never get tired of!!!
The longest single book I've ever read is Anna Karenina, which was somewhere between 900 and 1000 pages. It took forever! :D
A lot peeps here mentioned Gone with the Wind and yeah it also took a lot of my time when i was young and it was so large but the book was so old that it just took me in.And yeah the movie was great also.
Pretty sure the longest thing I've read is A Clash of Kings (the sequel to Game of Thrones) which I believe is 960-something pages and it took me like five or six months to read. And it's not even the longest book in the series, which I have yet to finish. :P
