Not a Christian. I don't think it's all that out there to expect people on a literature board to have read one of the most influential books of all time. How are you guys reading Paradise Lost, then? Or Dante, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Melville, Hawthorne, Emerson, William James, Flaubert, Shakespeare, Donne, Marlowe, Whitman, Goethe, Nietzsche, Cervantes, Blake, Kant, Hegel, etc.? I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't even read Homer, then, if you've haven't any interest in understanding what you read further than what the footnotes can explain.
you guys must make every thread about the Bible because you are sheep who can't think for themselves

Yes, I stand by that. Would you have been happier if I had said On The Origin of Species instead? It's definitely up there with the longest I've read, counting the essays my copy came with. You fricking donkey idiot, you probably haven't even read that, either.

Objectively the most important book ever written, regardless of whether you’re a Christian or not. You can’t call yourself well-read if you haven’t read the Bible.

Yeah, it can be. As long as you read at least a chapter or two a day you'll finish it before you know it. It's not all a slog, though; there are some great books in it. Here's a tip: don't try to read Psalms from beginning to end like the other books. Read one a day along with whatever else you read.

It's very good. To Green Angel Tower is book three in the trilogy, so don't start with that one. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn was the inspiration for a lot of modern fantasy. Obviously, taste is subjective, and many people say that it's slow, particularly the first half of The Dragonbone Chair, but it is worth reading, even if just to see what the fuss is about. Personally, the only fantasy series I would say is better is Lord of the Rings.
You can definitely see the influence it had on ASOIAF. It's surprisingly dark and violent at times without it being straight up grimdark.
Very comfy and Tad does the build up to the climax very well. It's personally one of my favorites, right up there with LOTR and I always shill it. It's more inspired by Arthurian stories than it is a copy and paste of Tolkien. Hope you enjoy
Would you consider web novels as singular books? The "books" are essentially just bigger chapters in terms of story continuation. If so, I think Desolate Era takes the cake.
Absolutely wonderful book. If I remember well, a lot of the last 100 or so pages are images and shit and the book ends somewhere shy of 800, but the formatting could have been different as I read it on an ereader
Correct, it’s a high 800 pages in actuality. Roberts gets teased in one of his debates about it being 900 pages though lol. Despite the length I know I’ll read it again.
Pic related, which is around 1400 pages. If I ever read In Search of Lost Time or the Mahabharata, both of which are in the 4000 page count range, then I will have reached peak bragging rights and there will be nowhere to go from there.
Don Quixote
Probably Count of Monte Cristo or Lord of the Rings.
>Lord of the Rings
Oh yeah Lord of the rings might be mine then forgot it's kinda one book
Should probably be the answer of most people here if they're well-read in any capacity. If not, no wonder this place sucks for classics discussion.
I thought the thread is about fictional books.
Christcels get uppity in every thread now

It's mogged by 100 years of solitude anyway
not even close paco
Same.
>if they're well-read in any capacity
This is true and will cause much seethe.
The Bible is 73 books, not one book.
End to end? Man I'm like 30% through. It's tough
Yeah, it can be. As long as you read at least a chapter or two a day you'll finish it before you know it. It's not all a slog, though; there are some great books in it.

ye, it's kinda shit
israelite schizo nonsense loses it's lustre pretty quick

The Bible is multiple books by different authors written at different times my low IQ friends
>t. Christie, the crazy conspiracy theorist at your mom's bible study group who always finds ways to tie the Tartarian Empire and mud floods into ancient israeli myths
I WILL read Summa Theologica some day (1.8 million words) and will be undefeatable.
A Dance with Dragons is longer actually. It's doesn't feel it because nothing happens until the end
Reverend Insanity

Dune
Probably Book of the New Sun if you consider it a single book.
Don't mind me, just mogging everyone in this thread
RuneScape mogs planescape
Based Tad enjoyers
Is it really good? How does it compare to ASOIAF?
it's structure is similar to ASOIAF but with shittier characters also written by a cuck who is even more progressive version of GRRM

To Green Angel Tower. That book is divided into two parts and each part is thick as frick
Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts. Some 900 pages.
Absolutely wonderful book. If I remember well, a lot of the last 100 or so pages are images and shit and the book ends somewhere shy of 800, but the formatting could have been different as I read it on an ereader

I won’t be responding to seethe
>Low t christgays when every thread isn't a bible circle jerk
I don't enjoy longer books. I like Moby Dick but only read it because of IQfy
514,827 words and it definitely could've been shorter, yet still managed to have a rushed ending.
the divine comedy
The third act lost me
Environmentalist liberal garbage
