Years ago I tackled the wacky tagged Italian epic poem in the 2 vol Penguin set. Total page count is 1,632 pages.
Although it is technically a trilogy, Tolkien envisioned LoTR as a single volume & if it was counted as such then the page count for editions I read clock in at 1,248.
At just a few less pages than LoTR would be King's longest work-The Stand (1,200)
Lately I have been thinking of tackling Shogun (1,300) pages.

tpixie Oh! I‘ve read The Stand & LoTR! ( I‘m currently reading Les Mis- so ask me Dec 31!) 😂 2w
shortsarahrose Also read The Stand and LoTR, but those are beaten by a Library of America collection of Herman Melville‘s post-Moby Dick novels and prose work (1478 pages). 2w

BookmarkTavern Multiple volumes definitely count! Thanks for posting! 2w
vivastory @shortsarahrose I love LoA volumes! I checked that one out from the library to read The Confidence-Man. There were some other pieces in there I plan on reading in the future 2w
vivastory @tpixie That's a great one! 2w
Branwen I'm guessing The Stand would be mine? Also Wind & Truth which was over 1300 pages if I'm remembering correctly! 2w
