For me, it's between Stephen King's The Stand or Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace they were both about 1200 pages

The Stand

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Rereading The Man Without Qualities. It's 1251 pages over three volumes.

 

[Steel]

A song of ice and fire (AKA Game of Thrones)

I think the longest book in the series is a Dance with Dragons. 1100 pages

The Wheel of Time - Wikipedia

17 books in-total. Each about 800-900 pages. I'm only counting this because after the author died, I bought the remaining books in the series until it was concluded and re-read ALL of them over the course of a week.​

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

The whole Wheel of Time series, 11,000 pages.

If you liked that, you HAVE to read this.....

The Sword of Truth - Wikipedia

22 books total. Sorta slows down around The Pillars of Creation, but picks back up.​
