Emily (evlawrence) | 7 comments Hi, I saw there was a thread about the shortest books, I wondered if anyone had a list of the longest books? I am tempted to start some of the longer books now so I don't have them all to read at the end. Thanks!

There isn't a thread (yet) but you can check out the group's bookshelf. There is on listing all books with over 1,000 pages:

has each of the three books separately, the same as

I don't know what is correct.

The complete version is the correct one. It's actually a novel published in three volumes.

Here:

And I also read it, so I know it as a fact.

Edit: In the 2008 version only the first two volumes are mentioned, the third volume hadn't been published then. It is just mentiones as "projected". I don't have access to a newer edition at the moment so I can't tell you if they changed it. But the work is incomplete without voulme 3.
