[Rockinacoustic]

Probably East Of Eden.

When I'm old and retired I'll delve into the larger books I wish I had time for.

you can't really tell how long a book is by the # of pages. order of the poenix is like 900 pages but the text is huge.

the longest book i read was the stand at 1200 pages and the text was small.

 

[imported_LoKe]

No idea, I don't look at the book length.

The Stand

 

[angminas]

James Clavell's Shogun, 1211pp. Great read.

I've been wanting to pick up some Mailer for a couple of years now, but haven't gotten around to it. So is this the title you'd recommend for an introduction? I tend to latch on to authors once I get started (amis, cormac mccarthy, hemingway, rushdie).

I'll trust any man to recommend books who's screen name is Keith Talent.

I got through 75% of the first two books of Remembrance of Things Past. ....as pretentious as I can be in my choice of Literature, I nonetheless decided that I can live a happy life without giving a damn about Proust

 

[codeyf]

LOTR Trilogy.

Was Shogun that long? I don't remember - I read it over ten years ago and loved it.
