So this Mark Leach guy has written a book which he is claiming is the longest novel ever published, Marienbad My Love. 12.6 million words. I think it's ebook published only. I hope so for the trees' sake. He's also claiming
-the world's longest word. Also called "the holy Jah," the 4.4-million-letter noun is a coinage of words from the world's faiths. It means "god within."
-the world's longest sentence (3 million words).
-the world's longest book title (6,700 words).

I'll quote you the opening paragraph for funsies:
What's your take? Brilliant outsider art? Throwing common sense to the wind? Spectacle to break a world record? Mental health concerns?Again I advance across the tragic beaches of this deserted island, footsteps upon sand so profound, so deep, that one perceives no step. Mute beaches, where footsteps are lost. Mute, deserted – footsteps upon sand over which I advance once again. To find you.
