The Longest Books on CH's TBR List

Thank you Emerson for the list idea: https://www.listchallenges.com/some-long-books
For this list I decided to include anything over 650 pages *gulp* but I also decided to include books that are not meant to be read all the way through such as 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. Some of these books are on here due to my interest in linguistics and my plans to go back to school. So I have revised the question to be how many have you read OR perused?
Longest: 1344 pages
