This week's question is: What's the longest book you've ever read?
In recent memory, it would probably be The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I have a copy of The Wise Man's Fear, but haven't started it yet. The Name of the Wind comes in at 722 pages, so it's hefty.
I have read other long books - Stephen King's The Stand is long, and so is The Talisman, which he wrote with Peter Straub (I love that book).
I think it'll be interesting to see what other books people weigh in with this week. Happy Hopping, everyone!!!

I love that bunny picture! I read a lot of long books... although lately I've been in a bit of a reading slump and have only been tackling short ones.
722 pages - that is a healthy read! I don't mind reading long books as long as they keep my interest. I just need a long holiday to go with them ;)
Just hopping by - love the bunny pic too. Very cute.
hopping through
That's a lot of pages, happy Friday!
would have to be a tie between one of the George R R Martin books in a Song of Ice and Fire series and Rothfuss's Wise Man's Fear (sequel to Name of the Wind). both books are around a thousand pages. talk about a commitment!
I had to check into "The Wise Man's Fear" -- 1008 pages, wow!

Those are bulky books. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog:)
I've not heard of The Name of the Wind, but I did enjoy The Stand. Most Stephen King books are quite lenghty!
Love love love Pat Rothfuss! I agree with Ruthi - despite the intimidating length of The Wise Man's Fear...you'll be sad when it's over :)
Wow!! 722 pages is a pretty hefty book! Thanks for hopping by!
I want to read The Stand, but I haven't got to it yet.
The Stand was my answer :-) So long, but easy to read.
I have read all of the books you listed and loved them. I think I will need to read The Name of the Wind again before I read the second one. I loved The Talisman. King at his best.
The Stand is popping up a lot. I've only read King's earlier, shorter books. They were scary enough for me.
sorry for the late reply, I mean seriously it's tuesday already! Thanks for visiting and your my hero doing King's long books!!
