The bible,kings stand and it,moby dick. Lots of long books. Oh yeah the two part history of christianity from the time of christ till now(no I am not a christian.) I have read losts of long books.
Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse. I'm not sure which one was longer. Alhazred was a really good book, I think it waslike 700 pages or something, but I never got a chance to finish it before I moved =(
Atlas Shrugged was 1200 God-forsaken pages. It could have been condensed a lot, but I guess she really wanted to be thorough.fidosim
I've really been wanting to read that, is it any good? I guess Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway or Henry IV by shakespeare, I'm yet to finish the first one.
766 pages of Harry Potter and The Order of the pheonix when iwas in grade 6, all the other kids were reading books that were 100 pages. Now I read books with maybe less pages but more meaning a.k.a Classic books.

You really have to be interested in the philosophy behind it, because the characters aren't meant to reflect real human behavior. Instead they basically represent different ideas.

I wouldn't read anything by Ayn Rand if I were you. Her writing is rather poor and objectivism is dumb. It's just attempted justification for selfishness. Not to mention Rand was an evil ****. Just my opinion of course :P
by the way, A Farewell to Arms is brilliant. Great taste.
Out of a curious whim I read Moby Dick - and OMFG I don't know if its the longest book ever but it reads like its the longest book ever. Chapter upon chapter on whales and whale history and whale anatomy. The story part is like ... minuscule compared to that. What a waste... whoever called that one of the greatest books ever written was paid to do so.
I tried to read IT once, which I believe is around 1,000 pages long. At least my edition was. I got to around 800 - 900 pages before I stopped reading.

Yeah that's my answer. Considering I turn the channel when Biggest Loser is on, it's safe to say I'm all white whaled out.

Why'd you stop? Didn't like it? No, I decided to watch the movie. Of course, that took away all my curiosity and the book has been left on the shelf as a seat for dust ever since.
Stupid of me really, since I was enjoying the book, and it had taken me about two months to read that much anyway; what a waste of time. Will probably re-read (or, READ) it at some point.

Yeah that's my answer. Considering I turn the channel when Biggest Loser is on, it's safe to say I'm all white whaled out. Rofl. It's such a bad book IMO. I don't know. Everyone was like OMG Moby Dick is one of the greatest books ever... and I LOVE to read. But that was too painful!

My theory is that when books like Moby Dick came out, people had nothing better to do for fun than to sit around and read, so it naturally won acclaim. Then generations later, people just assume it's a great book because of what people said back in the day.

Although I shudder to think that many people have a thing for whales...
