Mine is the History of Architecture by Sir Banister Fletcher. It's really heavy, I can't carry it with just one hand. But that book I haven't read from cover to cover. Only like 3/4 of the book. The largest book I've read from cover to cover is Harry Potter 5, Order of the Phoenix. What about you?

I think the heaviest and thickest book i've read is dan brown's da vinci code. ^__^ all of the HP books i've read are just ebooks and all of the anne rice's books i've read are not as thick as dan brown's. especially LM montgomery's books, they are not that thick. one novel is just half of da vinci code. ^__^ and then all of the other books are english romance novels that are not that thick.

The thickest and heaviest booke I've ever held and read was the thesaurus. I am not that much in reding hardbound, thick books so I am not that familiar of those others. I got the hold of thesaurus when I was in high school, as I used them in researching for my project and searched for some explanations about a certain subject I was not well aware of.

I think the heaviest book that I have read is Perrys Chemical Engineering Handbook. Its our reference manual in the board exam so I have to read it from cover to cover in order to prepare myself for the exam. We use to joke that we are "snatcher free' whenever we carry the book because its too heavy for sure if we drop it to a snatcher he/she will definitely be flattened :)
