I'll take the exphasis on 'good' since no overly long book can do more than elaborate on the writer's idiocy.
My choice would then be, 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova. Some odd 800 pages, brilliant read, beats the socks off the Da Vinci code if you ever make the mistake of that comparison.

"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. That thing is the biggest book I've ever seen (aside from the Bible and other books I've never heard of); at over a thousand pages, it's tremendous. But utterly brilliant- it's one of my favorites.
A close second would be "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley, at 876 pages. Also really, really good (and far easier to read than Ayn Rand).
I like long books; if they're well-written and have a good storyline (i.e. they don't just drag really long), then it's all the better, because you get more of the story, and it doesn't end as soon.

The longest book I've read was the Lord of the Rings. It is sometimes published as three separate books but actually it was originally written as one big book. I have the one big book version at home. It took me two months to read the whole thing and that was reading in it almost every day.

I don't even know how many times I've read The Last Herald Mage. It's about 800 pages I think. It may not have been the longest book I've read, but it was the best.

I'm not sure which one is the longest, but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Moby Dick, and The Three Musketeers were all very good.

I agree with The Stand by Stephen King! It was a very good book... and very long! I also recommend Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy (approx. 900 pages)

It depends on what counts...my AP Art History bok at school is massive, it weighs like 6 pounds and is 1200 pages long- huge pages. War and Peace was 1200 pages too...or so...but didn't have pictures. I'll go with War and Peace.
