Anything over 600 pages for me. Inheritance series, I considered all long books, 600 yo almost 900 pages. If Kingdom of Ash is really around 1000 pages, that will be the longest book I will/have read. <3

1200 plus. Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson is the longest I have read so far, I think. And long to me isn’t the number of pages, but how much the book drags on lol.

Edit:
Was wrong. It’s 2000+ for the Riverside Shakespeare. Thank goodness for LibraryThing!

The longest book I’ve read was by Robert Jordan, and it was 1001 pages. I’ve read the entire Sword of Truth series, all these books. Totally worth it.

A long book to me is 600+ pages.

Over 500. Any of the GR books are the longest ones I’ve read. For example Firebrand is 800.

I’d agree over 500 I consider long. ? I love long books tho. I’ve read It and The Stand several times, most all of Ken Follett books are around 900+and I’ve read several of his too. I have a lot of the ones mentioned in above comments, but just haven’t read them yet.

I agree with those saying over 500 is a long book. And I think the longer book I have is It, which is over 1100 pages, but Gone With the Wind is up there with just under the 1100 pages.

400+ pages is “long” in my mind. Probably the longest I’ve ever read is one I’m reading now…an 1100+ page volume of short stories!

500+ is a long book to me. Whichever book that is the longest book in the Harry Potter series is the longest book I ever read. I think it’s Order of the Phoenix.
