If you think this book is too big, I'd like to remind you that there are one-volume paperback editions of The Lord Of The Rings (I have this one: <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/r-tolkien-lord-rings-1993-uk-one-4657510486" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/r-tolkien-lord-rings-...) with 1100+ pages.

  I think War and Peace is the longest book I've ever read. Most editions have 1300-1400 pages.
