Follow Me and I will Follow you Back
I have been an on and off participant in The Book Blogger Hop hosted by Jennifer of Crazy for books for a long time. I have found it to be a great place to discover new to me blogs and meet some great book bloggers.
My blog and my reading focuses on an ever evolving collections of reads but for now I am very into South Asian Short Stories, Japanese fiction, classics, Katherine Mansfield, Flannery O'Connor, Elizabeth Bowen and Virginia Woolf. I also read a wide variety of short stories and review an occasional carefully selected new work.
My blog is the home of Irish Short Story Week centered around St Patrick's Day. I am open to book blog events.
Every week Jennifer poses an interesting question for us-here is this weeks question:
This week Jennifer asks us to tell everyone what the longest book we have ever read is-
If you include multi-volume works then it is Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. For a single volume it would be Clarissa

I haven't actually heard of either book. But I'm surprised that you can remember. I have a terrible memory but I've also read SO many books. I know who wrote it though lol.

You have a very interesting blog here. I'm many reading paranormal/historical fiction but occasionally I read something a bit more eclectic :)

Nice answer. I remember reading Clarissa for an 18th century lit class.
Hoppin' by, Mel! I'm not sure if it was the longest book I ever read, but I read Outlander recently, which is a long book.
If I consider books read this year so far, my longest read is:
A Distant Mirror, by B, Tuchman, 597 pages:

Wolf Hall was 651 pages, but I listened to it: 24:19!

I love your comic!
I'm impressed you made it all the way through Proust. That's on my fantasy to-do list.

For me it was Shantaram - some 900 odd pages and worth the very long reading spell - over five weeks.
