ALOHA FRIDAY!!
( couldn't get the picture downloader to work, grr!!)

It's Friday, Aloha Friday at that.... you all know the drill.... Aloha Friday has you ask your readers a simple question that doesn't take much thought.
Here is my question for the day....

What's the longest book you have ever read?

I honestly do not know. Maybe one of the Twilight series books. I tend to shy away from long books normally.

Happy Friday.

The last of the Harry Potter books was probably the longest that I have read, although a few novels may have come close.

Lev Tolstoy's "War and Peace" - around 1400 pages.

Not certain but one of the Harry Potter books is pretty big. I think, though I read something in hs (classical) that was absolutely massive. Can't remember what it was.

It would have to be Zoya by Danielle Steel. It's on of my all time favorite books!!

Liz Mays said...

I can't even remember! The most recent long one was The Story of Edgar Sawtelle but that probably isn't that long to you.

I just started Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, and that'll be the longest by far. And I have to finish it because it's for a book club!

Andrea said...

Geez. I'm not sure! I haven't really kept track, but it I know I've read ones that were into the 800 page range, maybe more.

BTW, this is my first visit to your blog. I love it! :D

Wow, that's a hard one because I've read so many books that I can't remember 'em all. I know it was a book that was probably 500 pages though.

Hmm I don't know if it was the longest but it took me the longest to finish it - Vanity Fair. I started it before the movie came out years ago and took about 6 months to get all the way through it. I saw the movie before I finished the book.

Becca said...

Probably the Harry Potter books...they are really long!

i'm not sure. there's been a lot of books but don't keep track of their length. and i know there haven't been many that were lengthy. most of my reading is from average length books.

probably a wally lamb book. but i have just started the harry potter series and know some of the later books are quite long.

Buffie said...

Off the top of my head I don't remember how long the books were, but the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon had some long books in it.

War and Peace!

I think it was Mists of Avalon.

Kailani said...

I'm not sure. I read my books on a digital reader and I don't really pay attention to how many pages there are.
