This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl focuses on doorstoppers, the type of book that you can use to weigh down a beach blanket on a breezy day. I decided to share the ten longest books on my Goodreads want-to-read list:

1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (1276 pages)
2. Collected Poems: 1950-2012 by Adrienne Rich (1164 pages)
3. Divine Days by Leon Forrest (1135 pages)
4. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin (916 pages)
5. The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton (848 pages)
6. A Dictionary of Modern English Usage by Henry Watson Fowler (825 pages)
7. The Saga of Icelanders edited by Jane Smiley (782 pages)
8. The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope (776 pages)
9. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (752 pages)
10. Decca: The Letters of Jessica Mitford by Jessica Mitford (744 pages)

How about you? Do you have any lengthy tomes you’d recommend I pick up?
