What's the longest book you've ever read?
Mine was probably Stephen King's IT which came in at over 1,100 pages.

Roots by Alex Haley. It was about 900 pages. Not too grueling for some, but that would a big deal for me.
A former English Professor of mine has an ongoing dare for me to read an unabridged collection of a few Charles Dickens novels that's over 1,600 pages.
I also want to commit myself to reading Anna Karenina over the summer, but we'll see.

If the Dark Tower were one book instead of 7 (actually 8 now, but I haven't read that one), it would win by a landslide.

I think IT or The Stand - I can't remember how long that one is.

The Bible.
The King James Version is (IIRC) 1300+ pages; the New Revised Standard Version, with all the notes, is a 3000+ page e-book. I studied them in school; we got all the way through Old & New Testaments at least once in each of those versions.
I've also read War and Peace, which is "only" about 1440 pages. But Tolstoy's books are great reads. I didn't really want it to end, or for Anna Karenina (a mere 880 pages) to end either.
