Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s theme is longest books I’ve ever read. Given the choice, I generally prefer shorter books to longer ones. It’s not that I have any problem reading long books, but I worry that I won’t like them and then I’ll be stuck with a thousand more pages of something that’s boring me. That said, here are ten books that I’ve read that are pretty darn long!
Later this month, I’m planning to read The Wise Man’s Fear, which clocks in at 994 pages and will definitely top this list.

Love the Harry Potter Books! The longest book for me that I can think of was Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, at 771 pages, Mississippi Blood by Greg Iles was also a long one for me at 704. But second of the two was much easier to read. 😊Fun post!

I had no idea The Wise Man’s Fear was so long or I would have used it in my own post!! There was one bit in it that I wasn’t a huge fan of but I loved the rest of it so much it flew by – if only the wait for the third book would pass just as quickly 😭

Sara, I never realized HP books were so long. I enjoyed them so much that I never bothered to check the pages. I think for longer books, I would love a physical copy

I would definitely include Harry Potter and Winter in my list! I’m not too sure what the others would be! Some long books feel like short ones and some short feel like they will never end 😛

Well I gather then that once you start a book you do finish it? I have reached the age where time is too valuable and if I don’t like a book no point in continuing…it’s much better!

I do usually finish books that I start, but I’m getting better about setting them aside if I’m really hating them.

The Stand is really King’s best book and well worth the time. The book It is great if you want to be scared out of your socks and it’s almost 1200 pages. The Tommyknockers in nearly 1000 pages and, in my opinion, should never have been written. Lots of choices with Mr. King.
