Atlas Shrugged, Don Quiote, and I remember one of the Riverworld series by Jose Farmer was pretty thick too, over 1,000 pages.
Petrosianic " David Copperfield by Dickens was a long read given his predilection towards flowery language, I believe his writing was sold and read by chapter at the time. " that's right they where printed a chapter a time in weekly magazine / papers david copperfield is one of my favourite books, dickens being my favourite writer

Well, if multiple volumes counts, I am on page 5,665, book 18 (of 21) volume 5 in the Complete Aubrey & Maturin Novels by Patrick O'Brian.
I've got you beat! I've read all 21 volumes three times. They're much better the second and third times- I couldn't believe how many subtle things I'd missed the first time through. :D
Atlas Shrugged
Probably the Bible.
Sword of Shannara books. About 700 pages each with 14 books total I think. Great science fiction/fantasy series.
Thickest book is 856 pages.
was the book inheritence?
Basic Chess endings by Reuben Fine.
P.S. Seriously, I am joking.
In 7th grade I read a 700 page book on programming lol
2001 a space odyssey.

besides some life science [biology, psychology, chemistry] textbooks, a few of which I have read or almost read cover to cover:

When I was very young I read several collections of fairy tales and a book that I do not recall much, regarding the flags of the world, which detailed the histories of all the world's countries.
man that's a shame, i think anna karenina is incredible. much better than war and peace and easily in my top five
Remembrance of Things Past.
Don't.
Yes, I, like a poster above, read word for word Vincent Bugliosi's Reclaiming History, along with all the fine footnotes in the end. The text itself is about 1700 pages of quite small type. The funny thing was, it was a relatively quick and enjoyable read.
The book is about debunking every single conspiracy theory propounded in years past concerning the Kennedy assassination in 1963. I recommend it highly and I think I thought the book out of the "cut out bin" at a local bookstore for well under cover price.
The History of My Life by Giacomo Casanova. The book is normally 1428 pages. But if you buy the version with the pictures, explanations and exercises it is double.
