"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." - C.S. Lewis
War and Peace, about 1300 pages.
The most recent long book I've read is "The Gulag Archipelago" by A. Solzhenitsyn (really interesting).
Some others are "The Brothers Karamazov" (one of my all-time favourites), "War and Peace", "Les miserables" (didn't like it), "Don Quixote".
Mine would have to be All The Pretty Horses By: Cormack McCarthy.
When your looking back it's a lot easier to run straight into a tree.....

Touched by Genius. Cursed by Madness. Blinded by Love.
I remember feeling so discouraged when I began Les Miserables. I also remember feeling really accomplished after I finished
So far: LOTR.
All you Les Miserables people - I take it it's worth the long read?!?

Yes, some of his are as long as War and Peace, I'm sure. They are good for long vacation reading.
Wow! So many lengthy books out there. I am quite a light weight reader, and getting through Great Expectations seemed to take me quite a while (referring to the glossary regularly and re-reading many parts to try and understand what I was reading). Actually after the first 200 pages, the reading went a lot faster for me as I became somewhat more comfortable with the style of Dickens' writing.
What a great thread for me; a good list of books I don't need to jump into anytime soon ;P~
