This copy is 1136 pages long, so I have to ask: what is the longest book you've ever read?

Read this one, excellent book. He has many excellent books! "It" has roughly the same page count.

Other than a single-volume copy of Lord of The Rings, I believe it would be 1Q84, 928 pages.

Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. 1280 pages. Also had a big ass swastika on the cover. Got lots of looks.

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. Technically three books, but it's one overarching story that weighs in at a bit under 3000 pages. It has so many characters that they're all called out in an appendix

Oh, and it has hook into three other Neal Stephenson novels of around 1000 pages each, so arguably the whole shebang is some 6000 pages

This is a very Nat answer.

Next longest is probably one of the Brandon Sandersons, or possibly Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell

Not sure if it counts as one book or three but I’m currently making my way through the single volume version of His Dark Materials. It’s well over 1000 pages.

Not just the longest but also the best book I’ve ever read. Joanne must be seething that a fanfic by an anonymous author is the definitive HP book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the...

The slightly depressing answer is probably THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH. Need to find a novel to top that, maybe.
