Alan Moore has finished writing million word novel 'Jerusalem.'

Moore suddenly realizes he hasn't seen the sun in years.

Not only is it a light read, but it'll work as a handy step stool in a jiffy.

For comparison's sake, Les Misérables is roughly 530,000 words long. War and Peace? 560,000. Atlas Shrugged? 645,000. Even the Bible is only roughly 800,000 words.

Despite Moore's million words and desperate need for an editor, his novel won't hold the record. That belongs to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, which comes in at a tidy 1,267,069.
