What book took you the longest to finish?
>implying you've ever finished a book
For me, it was "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. Boring as fuck, and the only reason I read it is because someone off-handedly mentioned its plot being the inspiration for "Apocalypse Now"
Pic related, only because the somewhat episodic structure of the book meant I could read it over a long period of time, without having to keep track of very much. It's pretty good if you want to read about war, adventure, and dudes finding themselves.

Heart of Darkness is awesome and not that hard. You can't read.
The Bible, followed by Don Quixote

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Took me five days. What a book to spend 9 months on man.
Moby Dick took me almost a year to read, the beginning and end were great but halfway through was a bit of a slog to get through, so i put the book down for a while. I wasn't too interested in learning about whales or whaling.
