Longest Book I’ve Ever Read

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great weekend. I’ve been hoping to get more blogging done this week but I haven’t really felt up to it. But I had to get on today to share some exciting news.

I finished War and Peace this week!

Guys, this is huge! This is literally the longest book I have ever read. Still trying to get all my thoughts together on this one. Look for a more comprehensive review in the coming weeks. Until then, I am relishing in this finished masterpiece!

What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

Pretense by Lori Wick is the longest book I’ve ever read. It was 600 or so pages, and since I usually stick to shorter reads, that was quite a commitment! lol That is so awesome that you read War and Peace, by the way! 🙂

  Way to go! Anything over 500 is especially impressive, in my opinion 🙂 And thanks so much! It was intense!

Well done!!! I started reading it after I watched the new series but it’s long since been abandoned (I liked the ‘peace’ bits, but was struggling with ‘war’, haha. I’ll have to go back to it at some point.) I’ll look out for your review!

  Thanks so much! I totally want to watch the new series now. And I agree–the peace bits were much more interesting for me as well.

Aj @ Read All The Things!

Congratulations! I’ve always wanted to read War & Peace, but I haven’t done it because it’s huge. The longest book I’ve ever read was Atlas Shrugged. It took me months to read it.

  Thank you! It is definitely huge and sometimes I just read a few chapters a day to keep going. But I think it was worth it. Atlas Shrugged is intense! I have only read Anthem by Ayn Rayd. I’m impressed!

Recently that would be Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell – it’s just over a thousand pages and I wouldn’t have minded if it was longer it was that good!

Congrats!

  Thanks! And cool! That’s awesome. I must admit I was pretty glad War and Peace was over. It was long enough 😉
