To quote Katytastic: "I like big books and I cannot lie You other readers can't deny When a book is so big It's hard to lift because honestly I don't that much upper body strength..."
I've just started Final Empire and I can see it going so quickly. Like Wise Man's Fear - over 900 pages and I felt like it wasn't long enough because I want to live in that book!
This looks fun! I should do this tag! I HAD NO IDEA THAT BREAKING DAWN WAS THAT BIG EITHER! Oh my gosh! I read that in like 2 days too! Wow! I've actually read most of the books that you mentioned or if I haven't they're in my wish list! :) Great video! Happy Reading! :)
Oh! You look beautiful in this video! (as if you don't ALWAYS look beautiful) I love seeing all the massive books! I don't know why, but when I finish a MASSIVE book, I feel so accomplished.
I think I might actually go ahead and do this tag. I have a lot of big books on my shelf waiting to be read, so it might be fun to do it now and then again in like a year or so to see if I beat my page counts. Because that seems like a fun thing to do for some reason :P
Love this tag! At first I didn't want to read Game of Thrones because the books are huge and now I hear about those books all the time. I hope to give the series a chance soon!
OH MY GOD! I felt the same way reading A Clash of Kings. I was literally flipping ahead to see how long it would be until I got to the next Arya chapter!
Longest book I've ever read is the unabridged Count of Monte Cristo at 1426 pages, then Les Mis at 1222. I also think that Gone With the Wind was over a thousand, and I think the Three Musketeers was over a thousand as well, but I'm not sure. Wasn't the Hunchback of Notre Dame also pretty long? I read a lot of Victor Hugo and Alexander Dumas, so I've read a lot of books over a thousand pages, and it's totally worth it
It was so hard for me to get through A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings because fantasy isn't my favorite genre, but Tyrion is my favorite fictional character ever. I adore him! And Arya had the most interesting storyline in A Clash of Kings. She was so great.
+lvm ikki The Vietnamese version is 1138 pages. I still remember feeling pretty proud of myself after reading that big thick book at such young age :))
Great video! I really enjoy all the ones you make! You're definitely one of my top favorite BookTubers! I actually did this video back in August, It was one of the first ones I made. Big Book Tag
The biggest books I've read: LoTR in 1 volume; Narnian Chronicles bindup; Bleak House (Dickens); Middlemarch (G. Eliot); OotP (Rowling). I came close to reading the complete dialogues of Plato, but didn't read The Laws or a few of the minor dialogues. The biggest TBR books on my shelf: War&Peace and Anna Karenina, & Crime&Punishment is somewhere. If you LOVE big books, try Remembrance of Things Past (Proust), or if you want way shorter try Clarissa (Richardson). Happy reading!
I loooove big books. And everyone I know is like: »Why would you read that? It's sooo big. I would have Like 5years to read this. I would never do this to myself.«
I'm reading A Game of Thrones right now and I can't even!!! BAH! so good. When you said "I'm almost 400 pages in and it's epic," I was like YES!!!! The awesomeness continues !!! I've said it a million times POV changes are torture though.
I envy your reading prowess. I swear you are a reading cyborg ninja. I keep putting my books down every two pages and going to do something else #adhd Sometimes I feel like the publisher comes into my room at night and sticks in a couple more pages when I'm not looking.
The Order of the Phoenix the longest book I ever read, too. In German it's 1024 pages tho... (for my 12 year old self to read a book of that size (more than once) - I must have been seriously obsessed)
On the Arya chapters. I FEEL YOU. I WAS DYING. I almost just started skipping them. Also, if you like game of throne and Brandon Sanderson, you should REALLY read the wheel of time series. Also, it will break any and all book count records, I'm talking 14 books all 800-1100 pages long. But SO EPIC! They are also high fantasy, they are A LOT like Game of Thrones.
I know EXACTLY what you mean about the 100+ pages in between character POVs for the Game of Thrones series. The wait is torture! Hang in there and try your hardest not to skip ahead. It's worth the waiting.
This is an awesome tag. It's scary how many pages we got through in Harry Potter without realising it when we were younger. I read OotP in ONE DAY. I literally stopped for half a dinner. That was it. ONE DAY. I can't believe that. O.O
I read the first A Game of Thrones last year and I got A Clash of Kings for Christmas from my secret Santa this past year and I still need to read it. But am also reading "The Book of Life" which is the third book in the "Discovery of Witches" series. And that is pretty thick. All of those books are pretty thick so having to wait like a year or so before the next one came out was a pain because I did not have time to re read the previous book before the new one came out and I almost forgot what went on.
Loved the video! When I looked through my book I noticed that many of my books are longer than 1000 pages, but that´s because those where books I read in German and all German books are longer than the english originals. I mean Order of the Phenix for example is 1020 pages long in German!! Currently I´m reading "A dance with dragons" (the 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire Series) and looove it! But it´s massive (1110 pages!!!!!) =)
I'm reading Clash of Kings so slowly right now... but that's because I'm already up-to-date with the TV show! Once I catch up... it's gonna be crazy! Oh and I'm reading Order of the Phoenix right now... definitely a huge book but I'm liking the pace!
I looked at my shelves and the top 5 longest books- not one of them comes in under 700 pages. Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson is 1,087ish pages (which I read in three days), followed by Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind at 1,080ish pages (which I read in two days.)
With all the fantasy books you read, I was sure you'll have at least one book of 1000+ pages. My biggest book is the Way of Kings by OUR fav author Brandon Sanderson which totals at 1088. P.S. You should get going with the rest of Mistborn. It doesn't take 120 pg before each of Vins POV...
I need to read the last in the Mistborn in the series. I keep meaning too but life, it gets in the way. Since you like fantasy, I reckon you might like Tamir Triad trilogy by Lynn Flewelling.
I did not know that Order of the Phoenix was bigger than the first Game of Thrones. Still I think I managed to read that in a day and yet I can't get passed like page 18 on GOT. I should really try reading that agian...
i think part 5 of Harry Potter in German is like 1000 pages long. i think that is the biggest one i have ever read, not sure, tho! i never wondered. :D (PS: I hate Breaking Dawn, I felt like I was reading a book of 5000 pages LOL the complete opposite! haha)
I need to get game of thrones! Been dying to read it for the longest time. The harry potter series is just the best. I remember when i was eight or so i read the whole series in a day! Definitely a highlight of my book reading career haha.
HP5 is 880 pages in Norwegian, but it's not the biggest book I've read. The two last books in the Inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini has 960 and 1084 pages.
What's the name of the Russian fantasy/love story series that you like so much? I have been trying to figure this out for days and can't find your mention of it anywhere! Thanks :)
I like reading big books as ebook because for some reason I feel like it would be faster to read. Seeing a really big book intimidates me and makes me not want to read it.
What publishing company publishes the Mistborn Books you have? Your copies are, I think, bigger than what I'm supposed to buy. I've been trying to asses the size of those books ever since I saw them here in your channel. Haha
i think the biggest book i've read is stephen king's "under the dome" which was a little more than 1000 pages. IT WAS SO GOOD! But the Tv series...BLAH!
