War and Peace is 570,000 words, according to Amazon. I suspect LOTR is very nearly the same length.
Somebody should introduce the author to Robert Jordan. A 12 book (so far) series. Most of them longer than War and Peace.
When I read very long books (War and Peace, Ulysses, etc., I read them for a set amount of time every day or for an entire chapter, whichever works best for me. I've breezed through several mammoth tomes that way. I read Norman Mailer's Ancient Evenings, which is over 700 pages in just a few week, and The Executioner's Song, which is over a thousand pages, in about the same time (on a Norman Mailer kick at the time).

Will there be anymore? Didn't he pass away last year? Will they get someone to finish The Wheel of Time series?
No so far about it. With Jordan being dead and all, there isn't likely going to be another WOT book after Sanderson finishes Jordan's unfinished conclusion.
