It’s been a while since our last hop and this week’s question over at Crazy for Books didn’t make our brain hurt too much, so....Question: What’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?
Answer: According to Wikipedia the longest fiction novel we (Evan) every read was Atlas Shrugged at 645,000 words (1,450ish pages), although A Suitable Boy FELT like the longest book we every read at 591,552 words (1,349 pages). Les Miserables, which we just finished earlier this week was one of the best “long” novels we every read (listened), standing in at 513,000 words (1,350ish).
Wow, 3 answers for the price of 1, talk about value. Then again that’s what we’re all about here at Two Bibliomaniacs.... oh, and books. Give us a follow and we’ll be sure to return the favor!!!
I forgot about Les Miserables - read it years ago.

ReplyDeleteI never realized Atlas Shrugged was a huge book, I raced through it. But I really felt the time it took to read Les Miserables.

The best part about books that don't feel long but are long is that it doesn't matter how long they actually are. I do remember reading Atlas Shrugged, it was a tad thick but I enjoyed it. Never read Les Miserables! Nor War and Peace, though I want too.
ReplyDeleteYep those are all enormous! I've not read any of them, but Atlas Shrugged is on my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, I haven't read any of thoses books :D
ReplyDeleteNow following ;)
That's a lot of long books! Atlas Shrugged is getting a lot of press these days. I think I'd like Les Miserable better, but both are daunting time-consumers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books but they are all on my tr list. was surprised when I saw les mis on so many responses. Every time I have looked at the book it hasn't seemed that big.
ReplyDeleteHi-we are a husband and wife team of book bloggers, too! I guess there are a few of us out there. Glad to have found you. How did you like Ayn Rand? Haven't dipped the toe in yet, but we have it on the nook - that way it won't be so heavy to hold whilst reading it.
