"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.This week's topic is Books with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!))
Good thing that I do the chunky book challenge, so I could find my longest books quickly. Maybe some of you have a different page count (especially if I read the German translation of a foreign book), depending on the edition. But these books all have more than 1,000 pages.
Mak, Geert "In Europe. Travels Through the Twentieth Century" (NL: In Europa: Reizen door de twintigste eeuw) - 2004 - 1,351 pages
Dostoevsky, Fyodor "The Brothers Karamazov" (RUS: Братья Карамазовы) - 1879-80 - 1,249 pages
Follett, Ken "World Without End" - 2007 - 1,237 pages
Dickens, Charles "Bleak House" - 1852/53 - 1,088 pages
Clarke, Susanna "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" - 2004 - 1,024 pages
I don't think I need to mention that I love large books. The bigger the better!!!
📚 Happy Reading 📚
We have one in common.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of those I've read is 'Jonathan Strange'. I think it took me 6 weeks - but that was only evenings & weekends as I didn't want to take it into work every day. FAR too heavy! [grin]
ReplyDeleteMy 'average' read ATM is 282pp - not long at all! But I do have a 500+ coming up later in the year. I do have much longer books - but I'll need to beef up my review pile first before I attempt them.
A friend of mind reccommended that one to me, but he did NOT say how big it was.
DeleteIts VERY good. The TV adaptation is good too.
DeleteWar and Peace has been a popular pick.
ReplyDeleteI had Pillars of the Earth on my list today but I also had Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I can't wait to read both :) Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've read War and Peace and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (which are both on my list today) as well as The Brothers Karamazov! Here is my TTT: https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2025/08/top-ten-tuesday-high-page-count.html
