The Holy Bible. This at times seemed longer than it actually was, partly because I'm not a religious fellow and heretic, unbelieveing thoughts like "Yeah right!" and "But...but...Ohhh!" and *snort* and "Okay man, this is really weird..." were running through the back of my head. The bible is really old, to put it lightly, and often times not at all modern. Some of the things done in the name of faith seem plain senseless to me. Ohh, and I also drew it out, so it took me about a year to read.
On the other hand, I did enjoy reading it for the most part, and I learned a ton!

For me it has to be one of Robert Jordan's horribly slow Wheel of Time books.
The Golden Bough, recently a 700 plus behemoth. I take notes on everything that I read, and this one was full of those facts that you would want to remember so the emphasis on me writing made it seem sooooo long. It was good though.
English is the only language in which you can pronounce the word phet as "fish." Use the ph in ephermeral, the e in women, and the t in caution.
George Bernard Shaw
The Renaissance in Italy in 7 Volumes by John Addington Symonds 500 to 600 pages per volume

War and Peace.
War and Peace (short edition!)
Roots, Mill on the Floss, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are the longest books I have read. Actually I have forgotten their actual lengths but as I remember I found them VERY lengthy so I can't decide between them that which one was the longest.....
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Lord Of The Rings
Probably Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson.
Michner may not be as long as some of these authors above, but it sure seems like it.
Jane austen: The complete novels does that count??
If not then The lord of the rings

haha dont think Jane Austen, the complete novels counts, sorry.
The last 2 harry potter books were pretty long, so im gonna have to say those ones too. (HP and the Order of the Phoenix and HP and the Half Blood Prince.)
Lord of the Rings comes right to mind, but I know that I have some thick books in my past, page numbers are just not sticking with me.
