War and Peace is at least 1300 pages and change, depending on the type. If you can find a large type edition unabridged, that would probably put it over 2000.
I'm sure there may be 1 or 2 others since Leo wrote and published it, but most books of that size are split by the editor into 2 or 3 parts, so as not to scare off people who are intimidated by the size of big books. Case in point:
LOTR--which easily tops 2000 pages. B.

Very few books top 2,000 pages.
Some claim that the longest book ever written is the Yongle Dadian written during the Ming Dynasty. Over 3,000 scholars spent 4 years writing 11,095 volumes and 22,877 chapters. But really, it's an encyclopedia, so I don't think this should count.
The longest novel is In Search of Lost Time by Proust @ 4,800 pages. (6 volumes, but considered one book.)
The second longest novel is The Man without Qualities by Robert Musil with 1,824 pages. So, the 2,000+ club is a pretty small group.
