Same here, mine had 1067 pages. Now I'm working of Anna Karenina, but it has about 500 pages, it's not that long.

longest books
I'll have to agree with Tom that the longest on my list was Infinite Jest (by David Foster Wallace, who's making an appearance in my neck of the woods in April!). Infinite Jest definitely took the longest to read, because of all the end notes that one simply has to read as the novel unfolds. It was so engrossing that I read it again a year later.
Les Miserables probably ranks a second place (my wee sized copy has 1463 pages). Anna Karenina, Atlas Shrugged, and The Brothers Karamazov are also up there, too.
I love this thread
It's reminding me of all the great books I haven't gotten around to, yet.

Not counting anthologies and omnibuses, it is Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy, a very good book.
It is about terrorists who take out the Russia's major oil refinery, causing them to be behind in gas and the like by a lot. So they use maskirovka to trick NATO and other countries into thinking Russia is going passive, neutral, and bombs Kremlin to set-up the Germans, saying it was a german agent. So they start a war and nobody will help Germany because they think it is just a stupid conflict between the two countries.
