Man I really wanted to play that Wheel of Time MUD....

Are the books any good? Does anybody know?

Start by reading the first book, and, depending how much you like it, continue with the rest with the foreknowledge they start to get worse (plot slows down a lot), especially after ~ book 6.

1153 Pages. It's an amazing book. I think I have read it at least 2 times already.

I'm about to read IT by Stephen King and that is 1138 Pages but the font is very very very small.

I think that technically all 3 volumes of The Lord of the Rings counts as one book so that would probably be the longest book I've ever read.

in that case, how about the wheel of time series? 11 books so far, with three more to go.


nah thats 11 books.

from wikipedia:

For publication, due largely to post-war paper shortages, but also to keep the price down, the book was divided into three volumes: The Fellowship of the Ring (Books I, The Ring Sets Out, and II, The Ring Goes South,) The Two Towers (Books III, The Treason of Isengard, and IV, The Ring Goes East,), and The Return of the King (Books V, The War of the Ring, and VI, The End of the Third Age, plus six appendices).


it's one book that was cut into 3 for paper/cost reasons.

War and Peace is the longest book I've read so far, got it done in about two days though.


i really doubt that


You have no idea how much I can read when I'm bedridden. :p


I'm also doubting this. Seems like an un-necessary brag. Would be reading 292 words a minute for 32 hours to finish in it 2 days of being awake, without a break.


292 wpm is only slightly above the average reading speed of an adult(~250wpm) and isn't even close to what's possible. Well trained readers can get up to 800-1000 wpm, people who excell at speed reading are are able to read several thousand words a minute.

BTT: There are tons of LONG books from old, Russian authors such as Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky( "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov" come to mind here).

LOTR is probably the longest book I've read (somewhere around 10 times :D).

Atlas Shrugged for me. That beats out War and Peace and LOTR in terms of number of words.

I'm taking American Literature in university. Some of the most boring crap I've ever read. I love America's canon, but keep me away from the historical/theological side. I wanna cry the writing is so bad.

I remember reading Pillars of the Earth, but it is only around 980 pages or something, I think. And of course, who hasn't read the LOTR trilogy, and those additional books (forgot the name) that explain the ancien wars and the begining of the middle earth,etc.

About Wheel of Time, I bought the game, didn't even know there was a book series.

I can read around 80-100 pages an hour of most books, with around 60 for extremely complex or textbook style stuff. It's a bit faster than usual, but it's really not that strange. It took me about 2 weeks to finish war and peace reading it mostly in between classes in high school, that was a terrible book. If I speedread it's a bit faster than this, but I don't retain as much information as to make it usable, and i dislike speedreading.

Oh I've also read all of Jinyong books many, many, many times, and the longest one is about 2200 pages. It's in Chinese, and I'm not sure how many characters that is/how long it is translated to English.
