Hundreds of thousands of documented 'visits' have been made to enjoy Skunkville where the saga is or has been posted. However, this blog is the only location where the entire novel and all its visuals can be viewed.... The Wikipedia entry 'List of Longest Novels' which ranks and identifies all 480,000+ word novels, lists Clarissa, by Samuel Richardson (984,870 words) as #2 in wordlength, upon which Skunkville is now feverishly bearing down, with Marcel Proust's marvelous Remembrance of Things Past (1.2 million words) as #1 -- and also clearly within Skunkville's magnificent, visionary, towering reach....as we keep pouring out literary-grade, classic episodes, each fitting neatly within the emerging overall mad kaleidoscopic structure that is Skunkville... For instant/complete access to all 768 past Skunkville episodes, just click 'Archive >' at bottom of right-most-column, which shows title and publication date of each episode...then click on any episode of your choice and you'll be immediately transported there!!

TBNOKAS is far greater in length than the longest widely read novel (Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace: 560,000 words), and now longer as well than Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged (645.000 words)...And now the mighty, unstoppable junker-for-naught,TBOKAS has in its sights as its next target Xavier Herbert's Poor Fellow My Country (850,000 words). See why 100,000 visits (currently 23,000+ here) have been made at this site and other Internet locations (e,g,, CNN/SI=40,000 views) where this manuscript has been strategically placed. And just to show that it is our motto that we don't let quality get in the way of quantity, the entire ducment has all been written since the Fall of 2010...We recommend that readers begin any Archival reading no earlier than the beginning of 2011, as the 2010 posts need a lot of editing and improvement. http://blogs.delphiforums.com/skunkville TBNOKAS, The Blog Novel Once Known As Skunkville (TBNOKAS is an ancient Weenipoo Indian term, roughly translated as To Be Not Owl Kissing Angry Stag), currently has over 600 bizarre, engaging, psychotically humorous chapters, close to 2,450 full-size pages, thousands and thousands of pictures from Web picture sharing sites, and is about to cross over the lofty 750,000 word divide as of January 21, 2012.

War and Peace is one of the best novels I have ever read and probably the longest. The others you have mentioned are actually a collection of several stories linked by the characters. If this were the case, consider many more. My article on the greatest novels of all time may interest you. Thanks a million times because you appreciate good literature.
