I sure didn't manage to read it that fast. I believe it took me several weeks. It was a fascinating book and I should read it again sometime.
London by Edward Rutherfurd at 1,152 pages. I have also read more of this books as they are a great escape.
I have the Giver series but it's technically one book because it's all four between two covers. That's around 700 pages. I think the actually longest is House of Hades which is around 600 I think.
Tied between both of these fantastic book series. Each book is between 800-1,000 pages of fast-paced action that you dread ending and can’t wait to begin the next volume.“Outlander” (Series) by Diana Gabaldon
“A Song of Ice and Fire” (The Game of Thrones Series) by George R.R. Martin
Either Kingfish, about Huey Long, or possibly one of the Outlander books, I'm not sure. Also, some of the Anita Blake novels and the Harry Potter novels have been pretty long.
This year I read the One Year Bible and The Stand. I did some of them both audio so I could still make progress while driving.
Bible for me as well, then followed likely by War and Peace, at 1400 pages, and Charles Dickens, I think his longest was David Copperfield, looks like it sits at 1216 pages. Stephen King's novels I remember being tomes, looks like The Stand was the longest one I would have read at 1152 pages.I had an interesting childhood didn't I?
Oh yes the The Count of Monte Cristo was long too. Can't avoid cracking the spine on that one. Though I know some people have it in a two-volume set.
Kingdom of Ash! 992 pgs- ish and I read it in a week, during thanksgiving because I had a couple days off of work! :)
Kingdom Of Ash by SJM, it's around 990 pages, It took me maybe 3 or 4 days to finish and was totally worth it!
À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) by Marcel Proust -- 4,215 pages (studied it in French)Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien -- 1137 pages
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke --782 pages
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens -- 544
Excluding textbooks and work-related books, I believe it was Infinite jest by David Foster Wallace -- 1079
I listened the audiobook of IT, longest books of my life, 1168 pages (dont remember how many hours), i also really hated it
The most recent long book I read was "The World" by Simon Sebag Montefiore at 1345 pages and 68 hours and 9 minutes on audible. Phew! I had to check it out of the library twice!
In Search of Lost Time - 4215 pages

I read it in middle school. I remember being really impatient to get home so I could go back to reading. Finished it in 4 days.
