It’s Friday!
Yeah!
So what to do to start the weekend off with a bang?
Go to the Friday Book Blogger Hop, of course.
A Big Thank You to Jennifer of Crazy for Books for hosting this weekly meme.
This week’s question is:
“What’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?”
(Note: I’m putting one caveat on this question. You aren’t allowed to say the Bible, Torah, Qur’an, or other religious/spiritual text.)
I think the longest book I have ever read is Bleak House by Charles Dickens. At 900+ pages, it is filled with lots of descriptive detail and, of course, those strange and wonderful Dickens characters. Just got to love the names! Bleak House is a great book. It features a court case that is the longest running civil suit in British legal history — fitting for such a long book. If you have never read Bleak House, check it out. The pages really do fly by.
A great choice, happy Friday!

I really enjoyed Bleak House. As you said, there are so many great characters!!!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Most people would guess I’d write myself in the role of a hero in a fictional adventure of some kind. But that would be only partially correct. As is my norm, I throw a curve ball in my answer that makes perfect sense one you follow my logic. Follow me back to my blog at http://www.howardsherman.net and follow along the logic with me!

I have a copy of Bleak House in my TBR shelves, but I don’t think my own copy is as long as that (or maybe it is, and I just didn’t notice) 🙂
I have not heard of Bleak House and I have several of his books. I will have to find and read this one. Thanks!
I subscribed to your blog. Stop by my blog and check out my Book Blogger Hop answer.
I haven’t heard of Bleak House, and while I didn’t participate in the hop I would say the longest book I ever read was the unabridged version of Stephen King’s The Stand.
That was a frequent answer on the hop. Have a great week.
