A Great and Terrible Beauty I believe. It took somewhere around a week to finish. Just as a side not, it wasn't all that "great." The cover was the most intriguing thing about it.

Sorry cheating a little - because not a book but all 6 books that make up Thomas Covernant the Unbeleiver by Stephen Donaldson - over 3000 pages - amd I read them in just over a week. Once I started - I just could not stop. (I much preferred it over Lord of the Rings which had been my favourite books until then). I couldnt get into the next set of books he wrote,... If the Harry Potter books had all come out at once - I would have been the same with them. Unfortuantely there are big waits betweenr them. Which means I normally read them all again when a new one ocmes out - but not quite as quickly as the Thomas Covenant books....

The bible. 2 weeks solid it took me, and I hated every second. I was only nine for Christ sake!

Alex Haley-Roots. 587pages. It took me 2years and one month to read it. It took me that long because I started the book in 2002 read half of it. Than I moved and lost the book. I started reading it again in 04 and finished it in a month. It took a month because The book I had was old and damaged so the last few chapters were missing, so i had to wait for my library to bring it from another location.

'War and Peace' is pretty Long, So was the'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. I read very quickly and once I start a book I must finish it so I cannot really put a time scale on them. I have read so many VERY long books and a lot of Russian literature which along with ANYTHING by Thomas Hardy always seems ten times longer than they really are it can be difficult to say.

The Emperor's New Mind by Roger Penrose http://www.amazon.com/Emperors-New-Mind-Concerning-Computers/dp/0192861980/ Not only is it long, but it's *dense*. As Penrose ties together physics, biology, information theory, and mathematics, it gets hard to keep it all straight.
