Don Quixote is around 1605, Bleak House 960, The Stand 1152, The Pillars of the Earth 816, The Three Muskateers 700, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame 940. Some of the longest books around (that you’ve heard of, anyway) are Dream of the Red Chamber at 2339 pages (which I just bought, incidentally), Les Miserables at 1462 (which I’ve read), Atlas Shrugged at 1088 (which I’ve also read), and Infinite Jest at 1104 (which I have not read). But are the books really that long? Let’s do a little comparison.Įach of the books ( The Hobbit and then the trilogy proper: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King) runs normally between 300 and 500 pages, making the grand total around 1300-1800 (depending on the edition). Tolkein’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy has to be super long, like in accordance with the length of the books.

“This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
