This is sort of silly to vote on because it's not a matter of opinion (like best or worst). Check the number of pages: I have a feeling the Bible probably is the longest in reality, but I could be wrong!

I'm going by "brickyest" and most difficult, either by attention or pure length. But also, I'm going by digestion required. I loved Ayn Rand's books, but they are deep, as well as long.

There are loads of long books I loved reading, such as Neil Stephenson's Baroque Cycle and Chryptonomicon. I don't want to lump them in with hard and unpleasant books like War and Peace and The Third Reich, though. So, I'm not voting for them, much as I enjoyed them.

I agree with an early comment. I'm voting for long and difficult books. And, by that standard, The Satanic Verses should be on the list simply due to the mental effort and coffee required to finish it. I bought it to fight censorship back during the fatwa and finally finished it long after the fatwa had been rescinded.

It may be a matter of numeric measurement, but 'thickest' doesn't necessarially mean hardest, or even longest. A 500 page penguin classic may be the same length as a 1000 page popular fiction book as the printing is so small, and the pages are so thin. Also, length is no measure of the difficulty in reading a book.

I don't get it. Les Miserables is a good hundred pages thicker than War and Peace! But, I still have to read War and Peace and then I can compare it to my favorite book ever Les Miserables. :)

This list needs some pruning. There's no reason some of these books should be on here. Example: The Stranger. It's only 129 pages and I found it a fun read. Other books on this list are close to 10 times as long, and some like Infinite Jest also come with a cadre of footnotes.

I think it all depends on your idea of long. My idea of long is like 1000 pgs or more. Ex]Don Quixote which I've been reading slowly for a while now . I'm also reading The Grapes of Wrath now and I think it's considerably shorter!

"How Men Have Babies:" has 219 pages. "The Wandering Jew" has 176 pages. My heavens! Surely these cannot be considered long books. Maybe there should have been a threshold of at least 700 pages to enter a book--or even 500 pages.

If it's based only on the length, I don't know why some books are here - they're less than 500 pages and I think books less than 700 pages are not really long at all.

Ha. It's super silly, but still kind of interesting to see what ends up at the top. Plus, it's immensely satisfing (at least to me) to go and vote on the book you're reading at the moment when it's so thick and heavy that your fingers and wrists are getting sore propping it up.

This is a retarded list, Catch-22 is even up there, uhhh, what?

Since November, the `tomes` that I have read are: The Count of Monte Cristo, Life and Fate, War and Peace, Don Quixote, and just finished Les Miserables. This is not factoring in all the novellas I slugged out.

But yeah, I was expecting a lot more from this list than I got.

Bible doesn`t count as it is not really one book. If you count it because they are interrelated, I`ll just stick all the Goosebumps books together and count that.

message 40: by Henryetta (new)

Feb 27, 2011 08:32AM

I can only assume the "Harry Potter" books are above "The Mist of Avalon" because most, if not all, of the YA who voted for the Harry Potter books have not read "The Mist of Avalon". I have just finished "The Mist of Avalon" and I can assure you that "Avalon" is much longer. Not only is it almost 900 pages, but the font is so small. I jokingly told my friends that the "font size was 2". Now, I am reading a "normal" size font and it seems so large in comparison.
