Last night I finally finished reading a book I started quite a while ago.
Check out those dates!

It took me three months to read War and Peace by Tolstoy .
 
Never judge a book by it's thickness.

I was taught that by The Old Man and the Sea and Hyperion respectively.
 
Took me about that long to read Shogun by James Clavell around 1989. Mind you I was going through anxiety attacks at the time. Need to find another copy

The three month it took me was time well spent. :)


You might find Musashi by EiJi Yoshikawa to be of interest.:)
 
It's taken me 20 months to read a 180 page book, and I'm just a little over half way through.
Nothing wrong with it, but when I stop for a break, I don't find myself going back.
The Author has had enough time to write the follow-on novel.
 
For me, probably the Night’s Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. I’ve not read many 1000 plus page books, but I have read Stephen King’s The Stand, and IT. Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons and The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.

Of them, the Stand is the one I enjoyed the most, I think.

This thread is not about long books, its about taking a long time to read books.
