Thoughts for Thursday

What's the longest book you've ever read? Do you like long books in general?

I'm not positive it's the longest one I've read, but I'm pretty sure. It's Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.

The mass market paperback has around 900 or 1000 pages. I don't usually pay attention to length, but most books I read are probably between 200-400 pages.
