I have to admit I haven't read that many long books. Maybe Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

The fifth Harry Potter book and The Neverending Story
Gregor Samsa
That Guy
Alan Bullock-Hitler & Stalin;Parallel Lives. (1300 pages...Read this in Year 7, funnily enough.)
Second longest would probably be Ulysses, which took five days. Much fun was had.

My edition of 'The Secret History' is 628 pages.
The Bronze Horseman has very small print and is 730+ pages long. I've also read Harry Potter - Order of the Pheonix (what? Harry's ber-cool
).
I don't really read many long books - the tend to drag on.

The Stand by Stephen King.
White Rabbit
Bloody Shitcakes
Australian War Classics - 1,200 pages +
It's 4 stories in one book - 2 of the Siege at Tobruk/Desert Rats, one about a POW under the Japanese, and the last of a Commando (special forces) in Boganville following WW2. It's amazing how so many Australian war stories, no matter how depressing and bleak the soldiers situation is, there is always this undeniable spirt and humour in their writtings. I mean, it shows the Wars for what it really was - the horrors of it all - but an Australian spirt always shines through. They reckon the main reason Australian POWs survived the Japanese in such disproportinatly high numbers is because of their such high spirts and humour.
Forefathers (Nancy Cato) was pretty long too, 690 odd pages.
The Stand was really long!! I remember that one, 800 pages? something like that.. and the writtings was soo tiny!
But the full collection of all the Lord of the Rings was by far the longest! 1,300 or so pages. How about the entire History of Middle Earth? theres 12 volumes! Though, LOTR's was so long because of the appendix and maps aswell, so..
Anyways..

I think for me it would be either one of Isobelle Carmody's monster length books (either the latest Obernewtyn or Darkfall... I can't be bothered to go check how long they are) or one of Jean Auel's trashy Earthsong series.
I hate reading really thick paper back books when they're so thick that reading the middle of the book makes the spine snap in half and the pages all fall out. Soo many of my good books have had that happen.
