Word count is a direct way to measure the length of a novel in a manner unaffected by variations of format and page size. Length of a book is typically associated with its size (specifically its page count) leading many to assume the largest and thickest book equates to its length. Currently, the longest novel in the world is Venmurasu, a modern setting of the Hindu epic Mahabharatha, finished in 2020 by Tamil writer Bahuleyan Jeyamohan which has over 2,300,000 words.Ĭompiling a list of longest novels yields different results depending on whether pages, words, or characters are counted. This is a list of published novels with over 500,000 words.
