Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

War and Peace (1455)* , probably, though I think read somewhere that Atlas Shrugged (1084)* had more words!. That seems wrong though, looking at the two of them together!. Maybe Atlas Shrugged was the American book with the most words, I don't know!. So W&P, which also beats GWTW (1024)*!.

If we're counting multi-volume works, then it would have to be Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Times Past (or, in the modern translation, In Search of Lost Time), which is seven ridiculously wordy volumes, totalling about 2500** tiny print pages!. I doubt I'll pass that way again, though it remains on my shelf, for bragging rights, if nothing else!

Runner up: The Gulag Archipelago Trilogy by Solzhenitsyn, at about 1800* pages total!.

*mass market paperback page count!.
**trade paperback page count!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Besides the Bible (though that is actually various books in one volume), Gone with the Wind, which is more than 1000 pages, has to be one of the longest books I've read!. I believe my copy is 1037 pages!.

***Edit: While rechecking my answer, I realized I didn't add a rather important piece of information: my copy of GWTW is a hardcover with small print!. (I didn't think to add that until I saw reader's answer; it's a pertinent point!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!. I kept forgetting about the characters and had to start back two times!. But nevertheless, it was an enjoyable read!. I think no book, however long, can seem long to you if it's good!. And I don't select a book until it has a good reputation!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

for me also the bible it has only two versions but it took a year for me to read the whole book, because the word that use was so powerful I cant understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dragonlance Chronicles, a good read btw, over 1000 pages!. also Dragonlance Legends!. over 1000 pages!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Besides some of the obvious classics, I'd have to say Mein Kampf and most of the books by Edward Rutherford!. I have a paperback by Ken Follett that looks quite daunting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer almost 800 pages I think!. I would have said the bible but I have never actually read the whole thing therefore to me that one doesn't qualify!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
