    I don't know how many pages the longest book I've ever read had. Critique of Pure Reason and Mein Kampf are up there though. And the bible. All very long and tiresome.
    I think if you make a signature, you should inspire some emotion in someone else. I also think it would be pretentious for me to think I could do that.

    Probably Hugo's Les Miserables, in German translation. I have an edition in two books: the first one has 856 pages, the second one 683, thus in total 1539 pages.

    A long, long time ago: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. More recently, Bleak House by Charles Dickens.

    It was very long. I read and I read and I read and finally at the end I wondered why I read it.
    Thanks for the warning.

    Anna Karenia I didn't think I was ever going to get throught it at times I thought my head was going to . But it didn't and I did, and it was well worth it to.

    Well, I've completed three volumes, or about 1600 pages, of The Story of the Stone, but I still have 700 pages to go -- does that count?
