] .Samuel Richardson wrote another novel (very long, but it was his most popular work) in epistle form - Clarissa. I have not finished it, but so far it is very good.



The longest book ever written, I think. It has over a million words.

I read it during college, I did not like it much. I found the style very hard to get used to.

(I must admit that our teacher made it rather fun by pointing out all sorts of sexual references) ;-)
