RussiangirlNy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 good choice, have u read grotesque? It even better ! It about how two doomed prostitutes try to search for love in a world designed for men, it has has the same sort of cliffhanger ending. That left u thinking where the hell is Masako going to go?

Kell Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 No, I've not read Grotesque yet, but I've heard lots of good things about it and it's definitely on my wish list - it'll be a future purchase when I've whittled down my TBR mountain a little!

Kirstykat Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well, guys 'n' gals, can you beat: London by Edward Rutherford - around 1200 or 1300 pages Sarum by Edward Rutherford - around 1300 pages. Both FANTASTIC reads. Have still got The Forest, Russka and Dublin to read by him. As you can appreciate, you need a rest from him inbetween reads.

Kylie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are these books historical fiction or straight up non-fiction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstykat Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 These are wonderful works of historical fiction - when you read them, you can tell that an awful lot of research has gone into them - hence there is normally at least 4 or 5 years between releases!!

Renius Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 THE RELIGION by Tim Willocks 771 pages is a great read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tambo Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm tackling Don Quixote at the moment, 900 or so pages long, should take me most of the week if not more. I've enjoyed the first 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 If youlike Historical books - Elizabeth George booksHelen of Troy The Autobiography of Henry VIII The memoirs of Cleopatra I, Elizabeth - Rosalind Miles Magician - Raymond E. Feist Have you read The Autobiography of Henry VIII? I bought it a few years ago because it sounded really interesting, but it's quite lengthy to say the least and I don't know anyone who's ever even heard of the book so I haven't had the courage to start it yet?

bev Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ken Follett's Pillars Of The Earth and World Without End. Both absolute beast of books but I really enjoyed both of them. Another one is A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, 1474 pages !! I haven't tackled it yet but plan to read it before xmas. All the reviews I've seen have been raving about it so hopefully it will be worth the arm ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've tried reading Moby Dick twice now, and it has defeated me both times, but I'm planning to have another run at it this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iagegu Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Winter Solstice by Rosamunder Pilcher 698 pages. Just thought i let you guys know. This must be one of my favourite books. It does not matter how many times I read it, it is as though I am reading it for the first time. Perhaps a re-read for over christmas?? I don't think I should have looked at this list. As if I have not got enough to read. Diana Gabbaldon outlander series i am sure all books are over 500 pages. I love these books. Some of them are over 1000 pages. Can't wait to start the next one. When I began CrossStitch it took me at least two attempts to get into it. Since then I have not been able to put the books down. Absolutely fantastic and come highly recommended from me.

ginty14 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 One I completed a few months back and would recommend to anyone who likes bio's or business is Alice Schroeders biography of Warren Buffett - The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life". Weighs in at 976 pages in hardback , and isn't a difficult read at all - well written and very interesting throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busy91 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley Around 876 pages, I suppose it depends on if you get a hardcover or trade paperback, but either way, it qualifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankensan Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 IT is a really interesting novel. I always think it's more like a trilogy within one book. There are definite moments when you think --- OK this is now a new arc to the story. The ending was not what I was expecting at all, but well worth sticking with it.

Maureen Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The new Harry Potter book is 608 pages according to amazon. And if you put them, one on top each other, that will give you around half a metre of Harry Potter! One nice doorstep(or coach step) there!!
