Booking Through Thursday #3

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme in which we answer a question about books or reading.

This week's question is: What’s the largest, thickest, heaviest book you ever read? Was it because you had to? For pleasure? For school?

My Answer: I think that the largest book I've ever read was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which, according to Barnes&Noble is 896 pages -and I had it in hardcover- extra heavy!). It was a for-pleasure read, and was very enjoyable. I love Harry Potter!!


What's the heaviest book you've ever read?

  5. Hmm- probably one of Robert Jordan or Terry Goodkind hardcovers. Talk about prolific...

  6. I read The Far Pavillions by M.M. Kaye and it had 950+ pages. I read this when I was a teenager and had way more time on my hands! It was really good!

  7. Probably whichever Harry Potter book was the biggest! If it's Order of the Phoenix, than that's it! But right now, I'm reading Shadowfever and it's almost 600 pages, it's flipping heavy!

  8. I had that one on my list as well, but it's not the thickest I've ever read.

  10. I'm guessing it was one of the Harry Potter books. I read them all in Hardcover too and those books can weigh a tons.

  11. I have not read any of the Harry Potter books but my husband has, a few times over and loves them.

  12. I didn't know that Harry Potter book was that long! The longest book I've ever read would either be Shogun or Outlander.

  13. They didn't get successively thicker with each year.
