What’s the largest, thickest, heaviest book you ever read? Was it because you had to? For pleasure? For school?

    Sorry, I’m having to guess what information to give for name, email etc, because I’m getting four three blank boxes and no captions! 🙂

    The biggest brick of a book I’ve ever read was ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, last year. It was the Penguin Classics edition, huge and heavy, but well worth every minute of perseverance and arm ache! A few people on LibraryThing had been reading it for a group read, and I’d already been getting that ‘I want to read that soon!’ feeling, so away I went… Brilliant.

    I have read quite a few large books in my day, but a book I read in college (Law of Mass Communications: Freedom and Control in Print and Broadcast Media) by Dwight Teeter Jr. and Bill Loving was my biggest, heaviest book that I have read cover-to-cover. It was 1059 pages, and very intense/dense reading. You can read about my other big books here:

    Nelson Mandela’s book, Long Walk To Freedom. I started reading it on a plane from London to New York, carried it with me across the continental United States, and finally finished it by a pool in Las Vegas.

    Or Davison’s Principles and Practice of Medicine, which is a 1400 page doorstop that has carried me through medical school. But I haven’t read that from cover to cover and I don’t count it really as a “book”.
