@AlisLandale I just read that last month...and even though it's three books, it's technically one because the page count continues through. Are you a Murakami fan by chance?

Ive only read 1Q84 and Wind-Up Bird but I really loved both. Id read more by him but Im out of the country and English translations are a bit hard to come by. >_>

What about you? Whatd you think of it?

I enjoyed it quite a bit, some of the language and imagery is amazing. Where are you living at the moment?

Never, the longest book I ever read and finished was the 'The Great Gatsby'. The next longest was one I lost interest in and never finished being 'Tears of a Tiger'.

Probably about ten years ago, when I read Infinite Jest.

Since then the longest book I've read was Illuminatus Trilogy - one of a few books I've ever read more than once in my life.

I was on vacation 2 weeks ago and read 3 novels. It was fucking great.

Dr. Sleep is awesome
Anathem is always worth a reread.
The new Dune novels can be categorized as guilty pleasures, I guess.

Just checked, it's only 218.

Although I recall finishing another book. Dont remember the name but the premise involved a dome like structure created for suicidal people after the presidents daughter commits suicide.

The World as Will and Representation about a year ago. It's one of those books so brilliant you keep coming back to it.

Oh never mind it's only about 700 pages apparently. I guess if you combine both volumes together that counts, 1400 pages.

I don't remember finishing a single book with 1,000+ pages. I have read series that total more than 5,000 pages and I have sometimes read three books back to back totaling well over 1,000 pages, but I do not remember ever completing a 1,000+ page book.

...Unless web novels count. A few of those would have gone well over the 1,000 page mark if they had been printed.

Finished IT right before the second movie came out. About 400 pages into Stormlight Archive book one. Have the next two on hand for once I finish, but I am a slow reader.
