![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CNC0FY3KL._SS500_.jpg) Though I could not afford to buy all three which had the price tag over 100 bucks I instead bought Volume 2 for the simple reason that it contained the Battle of Gettysburg. Not sure which one I should focus on reading next. Volume 1 may contain a detailed cover of the Battle of Shiloh, while the third will surely cover the events of the Battle of the Wilderness. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Battle_of_Spotsylvania_-_Thure_de_Thulstrup.jpg)  | ||

Harry Potter has big font and is 1.5 spaced so it's not as long as it seems I feel. | ||

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

Lord of the Rings, some new translation, ~1200 pages, I'd guess somewhere around 2 weeks back then. | ||

Would be reading 292 words a minute for 32 hours to finish in it 2 days of being awake, without a break. Anyway, it's strange that this topic popped up as I was just looking at longest novels the other day and came accross Marienbad My Love which has 17 million words. To quote wikipedia on some info about the book: "He began writing "Marienbad My Love" in the 1980s. Leach promotes it as the world's longest novel. He also claims to have set records for the world's longest word (4.4 million letters), longest English sentence (3 million words) and longest book title, including the subtitle (6,931 words)." There's a website about it. It doesn't seem like it would be a good read at all. The longest book I've read is probably... erm... something about 600 pages. I got bored reading Lord of The Rings. To note, apparantly Wheel of Time series is the 4th longest story at the moment and looks to stay that way when complete. | ||

I wouldn't doubt an experienced reader's ability to plow through 40pages/hour or more. Over the span of 30 hours that makes 1200 pages. Certainly could be done. I don't think I've ever read more than 500 pages in one single day though. 16 hours a day uninterrupted by breaks? Nah. | ||
