The Longest Book You Ever Read
What has been the longest book you've ever read and how many pages was it?
The longest book I have ever read was The Lord of the Rings (over 1,000 pages). But, if you don't consider that to be one book, then Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (over 800 pages).
P.S. Sorry if there was already a topic on this.

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
Probably for only in one book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix too. Did you know it's the longest children's book ever published? And I can't even think of a ny longer adult's books.

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
The longest book i read was Wizard`s First Rule by Terry Goodkind (close to 900 pages). It was really good through and you should read it.

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
umm... ur 4 getting the 5th one! dats the longest one, remember! it has 870 pages. HP 4 has 714 pages, HP7- 759, and eldest has 704 pages. So actually, the HP books are longer den den eldest, and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest of dem, which is hte 5th one, NOT the 4th one.

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
lol yeah, it's basically the same thing except shorter! well, they didn't want us to read the full one for school because it would take too long, so that's why we read the abridged one. what do you think of it so far?

Its pretty good. But its kinda dragging on. My sisters bf let me borrow his movie of it, but my mom wont let me watch it till I finish the book. I say screw it. From what I've heard a few things are different from the book anyways, it wont screw it up for me.
This was a conversation between me and my sisters room mate a few weeks ago:
Me: *just told roomy about whats happened so far* Roomy: "I'm gonna wreck it for you. He gets outa jail." Me: "....He got out on like page 65...." Roomy: "Whatever, that was the end of the book for me."[/color]

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
The longest when including series in one volunme would be the lord of the rings or his dark materials (golden compass etc). Single book would be The Stone Key by Isobelle Carmody with exactly 1000 pages.

Re: The Longest Book You Ever Read
I read The Lord of the Rings and I'm on the third book in His Dark Materials (The Amber Spyglass). They are all pretty good.
