Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.This weeks topic is the longest books you’ve ever read. The page numbers are based on the editions I have so these may differ from other editions. I’m starting off with the largest book and work my way down from there. Let’s get started.

The Count of Monte Cristo / Alexandre Dumas / 1462 pages
-
War and Peace / Leo Tolstoy / 1358 pages
-
The Wise Man’s Fear / book 2 in the Kingkiller Chronicles / Patrick Rothfuss / 994 pages
-
Anna Karenina / Leo Tolstoy / 963 pages
-
The Mad Ship / book 2 in the Liveship Traders trilogy / Robin Hobb / 906 pages
-

I also have plenty of long books on my TBR, but nothing quite as long as The Count of Monte Cristo. What is the longest book you’ve read? I’d also love to know if you’ve read any of these books too :). I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

I heard of a few of these, but have not read any of them.
Side note: Every time I see “The Count of Monte Cristo” a scene from The Shawshank Redemption comes to mind where one of the inmates is attempting to pronounce the author’s name and says it like “dumb ass.” LOL!

I have not read any of the novels on your TTT post! They look like really good reads. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get around to reading a few of them!

Middlemarch made my list, too. I’m impressed that I finished it. My attention span usually doesn’t last that long.
