What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? Did you enjoy it?
The longest book I’ve ever read was Under the Dome by Stephen King and I loved it.
Most books by James Michener
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Really long and really deep, but it’s good. Like Anna Karenina more.
Outlander they get bigger as you go along and aye adore them.
Anna Karenina
Same here!?
Kushiel’s Dart- absolutely loved it!
Atlas Shrugged and Infinite Jest.
Have Atlas Shrugged and the Fountianhead. Are any one good?
Atlas shrugged is ok. The hardest part of reading it for me was that Rand believed the story should be implemented in real life… but if you just take it as a work of fiction it’s ok. Same thing applies to Fountainhead.
Thank you!
@John, Yw.
and War and Peace.
Ken Follett Fall of Giants. I loved it.
IT. I enjoyed it when I finished it, but man was it dense.

So did I what a great story
“…And Ladies of the Club”, both hardcover and paperback are well over 1,000 pages, but that mattered little; I loved every bit of it, so much so it became my favorite book of all time. GWTW’s mass-market edition is 1027 pages; read that so much, it fell in half. “War and Peace” and “Les Miserables”, also well over 1000, were great in their own right.
The Stand (Stephen King) 1152 pages and Les Miserables (Victor Hugo) 1400 pages.
Read both too

Who is the author m, what is it about?
Ildefonso Falcones. Author from Spain. it is set in 16th century, and it is about a boy Fernando, who’s mother was a muslim, raped by a priest, and so in both religions they decline him. Then Fernando recruits in the royal army, and now church wants him, but he is not sure which religion is right, and he meet this girl Fatima, but they are not destined because her parents are pure muslim and see him as a christian. it have 980 pages, and it’s pretty hard book to read, because it describes some brutal events of this time. Enjoy 😉

The Bible. Still not finished with it! ?
Jerusalem by Alan Moore. Beaut 🙂
Probably The Stand by Stephen King and I loved it.
The Bible (took me 7 months to finish it). Reading word for word, line by line not skipping a single paragraph. I’m not sure I’d use the word ‘enjoy’ to describe my reading experience. Though my motivation for reading it was not for enjoyment it was to educate myself on exactly what was and was not in the Bible. There was a sense of accomplishment when I finished unlike any other book I’ve read.
I don’t recall it taking that long myself.
War and Peace, the Count of Montecristo, Don Quixote. I don’t know which is longer, but I really enjoyed all three.
A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and I did love it.
Gone with the wind
The stand!! Loved it
The Stand, liked it but it did not make me want to read anything more by Stephen King
All of the Outlander books and the Ken Follett series loved all-did not mind the many pages.
The Historian

Cancer; the emperor of all maladies. Read out of interest (I have a biomedical background) and enjoyed it
@Joel mmm I hadn’t noticed his 2nd book yet
Thanks for the tips!. Over time I have read several (semi) scientific books. An interesting one, also read by (study)friends of mine: ‘A short history of nearly everything’ by Bill Bryson.
Recently I have got a copy of ‘Bad science’ by Ben Goldacre from an acquintance who studies and works in Chemistry.
Another recommendation: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. A book I enjoyed, but also an acquintance of my who is really not at home at science.
@Joel, I am biomedical trained, but working in chemistry for several years now. I am not into hardcore chemistry, as this would take me a lot of effort to understand proper. My direct boss, a chemist, always had a lot of fun with a former colleague (also trained in chemistry), about chemical errors they encountered in customer questions, law- and regulations and so on. I am doing my best, but a lot of it goes past me ??
Anna Karenina and yes I loved it
I forgot some: In Europe by Geert Mak, very enjoyable. The game of thrones series, mwuah…; The order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling, hard to get through…. And some other books of which I can’t remember the titles and/or authors.
