• What is the longest book you have ever read? How long did it take you to read it?

The longest that comes to mind is Stephen King's The Stand, clocking in at 1472 pages. I don't remember how long it took to read because it was during a summer vacation about 30 years ago. I remember being confused by parts of it but not being able to put it down.

oh, Mr. King appears again and again today.
Maybe why I never read his books.

I think that books read long ago (for me) were read in between other activities, and it's only since book blogging that I've noticed how long a book takes to read.

Oh yes, Stephen King is a master at long books. They're awesome, though :)

I read a lot of Stephen King as a teenager, but I think the size of The Stand really put me off! Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.

1472 pages! Carrying that book around could give you a hernia! No wonder you were so happy to adapt to your Nook.

We mentioned the same book, mine is a newer print of the extended and has a few less pages that yours! Sneaky. I adored it so much.

Here is my Musing Mondays post.

Hi! Thanks for the visit to my blog! Sorry it took me so long to reply as I was knee deep in grading papers all week.

Whoa The Stand sounds like one gigantic read!
