Top Ten Tuesday – Longest Books I’ve Ever Read

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme by That Artsy Reader Girl.This feature gives a weekly Top Ten list. We all love lists, right?

This week’s theme is Longest Books I’ve Ever Read

This week was easy to generate, but I decided to go over 10 books until I hit 10 authors since so many of the books are series that had multiple books hit the top 10 (thanks George R. R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson). I don’t really remember The Order of the Phoenix being long enough to make the list, but guess it was!

Also, I always have mixed feeling about really long books. On one hand, you get way more bang for your buck, and as long as its well done, the story can be way more complex/exciting. On the other hand, the length and time commitment required to read it makes it harder to read as many other books, which can be a bit of a deterrant. That said, with the exception of the Goodkind book, I loved all the rest of these longer books and am really glad I made the time to read them (multiple times in some cases).

  1. I read 11 of those as well 🙂 Nice list!

    I sure did not remember Fool’s Fate being this long! It’s probably because it was such a pageturner <3
