I recommend Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy because each of the books are thick as all get out. For long trips I can't recommend the Hobbit because it's significantly shorter. Books on tape/CD/mp3 player may be a good idea because the story is slowed to a verbal reading pace you aren't as likely to go through them too quickly.

I had to laugh out loud at that. I thought I was the only one who finished entire novels on an airplane trip! My all time favorite big book is The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Incredible, unforgettable tale. As with all of these, just don't get it in the 'abridged' edition. I too have to carry around more than one book at a time … I had to laugh out loud at that.

I'm no speed reader, but I do read quickly -- sometimes, it's disappointing to fall in love with characters only to end your relationship after just a day or two. Long books are perfect for travel (they'll last the whole trip), but way too heavy to pack. It's at times like these I wish I had a Kindle (or any ebook reader). I love long books!
