Longest Book I've Read

All I'll say is that it's a testament to Ken Follett that I didn't even originally think of Fall of Giants as one of the longest books I've read.  Then I started to do some checking and realised it was by far the longest at almost 1000 pages (other than his sequel which came close).  Perhaps because of all the intertwining stories, it just doesn't feel that long.  I had originally thought that Donna Tartt's The Gold Finch was the longest and while I really enjoyed that book, I could easily identify points where the story dragged.  Not so with Fall of Giants.  Hats off to Ken Follett for creating a compulsively readable tome!
