I've read three of the books on the top 20 longest novels (in a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet) list:

- Altas Shrugged (although I skipped through the soliloquy)
- War and Peace
- Les Miserables

Can anyone recommend any of the others? I don't mind reading a long novel if it is good but it would be painful to plow through a massive tome if it was crap. I'm definitely not going to read the LRon book.

Read that one too. Mrs. Meanie and my kids are huge HP fans and I must admit that I'm also a fan. You can't live in our house without having been exposed to the HP books, books on tape, movies, etc.

Well, it's not on the list, but it's pretty damn long: The Brothers Karamazov. Very good book once you get into it, which can take 300 pages.
