Yeah, you got the main characters' grandkids running around falling for the same old retreat and attack ruses by the time all is said and done. Fun fact: I dated a chinese girl for a while who believed that RTK was a 100% factual recounting of what happened. There really were 8 foot tall dudes who could kill 100 men and guys who could use magic back then, according to her. In fairness, that's at least cooler than most of the shit in the bible. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I remember being told Chinese culture has a lot of respect for historic heroes, compared to the West. Although actually believing something like the fictionalized retelling is a bit much... Edit: also as an actual answer to the topic, longest actual book would have been a Memory of Light, although I did read the 3 Lord of the Rings books as a single bound book. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! ...

hard to say based on page number as font and page size differs from book to book. i've read a book that was over 100 pages, but it was your standard novel size looking book, then i've read a book that was much taller and wider and it was about 800 pages

one of the Malazan books Are those really that long? One of the (few) downsides of reading everything on a kindle now is that I never can tell how hefty a book really is.

they probably don't because book readers have this weird belief that reading a lot makes you smart. when it doesn't really if what your reading has no educational value. I can see gaining an extended vocabulary but what good is that when 90% of people don't use the words in everyday life? and hell i've had video games teach me new words. a tad irritating though when you gotta drop your game and go look up a word in a dictionary. I mean who the hell uses a word like folderor (probably misspelled that) --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!" Bartz-"with cheese biscuts AND mashed potatoes!" ...

A part of me wants to say the Sanderson trilogy within the "Wheel of Time," since it was originally meant to be one book roughly 2/3-3/4 the size that the trilogy combined made up.
In terms of singular volumes that aren't collections of multiple stories (sorry, Sherlock Holmes or LotR), however, that might be between Sanderson's "Words of Radiance." It's 1080 pages long, hardbound, and is the second book in an on-going series. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
