Top 10 Longest Books I've Ever Read (In Their Entirety)

The list author says:
	"Okay... this one is #11 (448 PAGES) but I wanted to include it anyway because I enjoyed it a lot. Denis Johnson normally writes tight short novels, but this one is baggy and brilliant."

The list author says:
	"#10. 464 PAGES One of the best novels I (and most people) have ever read. Highly recommended."

The list author says:
	"#9. 494 PAGES. Obviously if I ever finish all of In Search of Lost Time it will top the list. As for now, Proust will have to settle for 9th place. Lydia Davis's translation of Swann's Way is superb. This book is very readable and very very funny in parts (I know it is hard to believe some old, really long french novel could be hilarious but give it a try)"

The list author says:
	"#8. 512 PAGES. This book technically ties with #7, but given its footnotes and bibliography that I didn't read, I'm making it 8. A very interesting and informative book on the roots of human civilizations and the modern global power dynamic."

The list author says:
	"#7. 512 PAGES. I read this in 10th grade of high school and have no real memory of it. Also, every edition on Amazon has a radically different page count so its placement here might be incorrect. Oh well..."

The list author says:
	"#6. 560 PAGES. I'm sure I don't have anything to add to a discussion of Dostoyevsky. Good book though."

The list author says:
	"TIE #5 624 PAGES. The most modern book on this list. A good fantasy novel with bits of horror and other genres."

The list author says:
	"TIE #5. 624 PAGES. A really great book. Murakami is hit or miss, but this one is a classic."

The list author says:
	"#3 640 PAGES A good enough book that I read the entire thing, but I think it gets more credit than it deserves. Certainly miles above the Da Vinchi Code though (and of similar subject matter)"

The list author says:
	"#1 1,104 PAGES. Wait a minute, isn't this a shorter book than Lord of the Rings? Well, I made a judgement call here. Infinite Jest is printed on large pages with very small type. My gut and brain tell me Infinite Jest contains more words and would be longer with identical printing. This book is very readable, despite its length. Highly recommended. One of the best books of recent history."
