Welp, you have me soundly beat. My longest is 85 hrs and 6 minutes.

Stormlight Archive 5, Wind and Truth by Sanderson is 62h 48m on Audible. It's the longeest in the series.
Book 1, The Way of Kings, is the shortest at 45h 30m. So between 250 and 300 hours for the series so far.
The Wandering Inn, by pirateaba. The books are almost all like 35+ hours and there's like 16 of them now. They're fantastic
Theres spin offs too like the Singer of terranria series. So good! Glad to see someone else mention it.
TWI is also free to read if anyone is interested https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/03/rw1-00/
Warning this is one of the deepest rabbit holes you will go down. And thats saying something on the web.

The Wheel of Time series has 13.1 books in it with each being between 25-40+ hours. I listened to the entire series which was ~450 hours or about 19 days.
Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection (1 book) narrated by Stephen Fry is 71 hours and 57 minutes
I listened to Worm, which the wiki says is 156 hours.
Haven't done the sequel, but it says that's about 225 hours.
i did not know anyone had done audiobooks of those.
Chapters were read by a number of different people with different gear, so quality and pronunciations were a bit all over the place. It was solid enough as a whole that I really enjoyed it.
If someone's done Pale, that is probably the longest (somewhere in the vicinity of 4 to 5 million words IIRC)
About 60-70 hours I think. I know the author of the HP books is.. a bit insane but I really loved the way Steven fry? Was narrating each character.
Is this a crazy coincidence or are you psychic?!? The picture in the post is from the Sorcerer’s Stone! I got sick and nostalgic, and started listening to it.
I think it's a little shorter in reality though, compared to what audible claims here...
You're 100% right about Rowling, she's gone off the deep end in a bad way.
Imagine Wikipedia as an audio book.
IT by Stephen King. Around 45 hours.
My current read is Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara. These books are 7-9 hours each, but I’m on the 13th volume. I think there are 17 or 18 audiobooks released, covering the four seasons of the anime. The anime is on indefinite hiatus until the next book series finishes. I’m not sure if they’ll do the audiobooks before the anime or wait.
The wandering inn has over 600 hrs and now has two separate narrators. I use the voice app. Works well. I enjoy the series, its my soap for the last two years.
I csnt find the official number of hours but its huge.
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, narrated by other people. I've listened to it twice and am in the middle of my third listen, but it takes a while each time as it's about 70 hours long.
isn't that book the one that inspired a cult known as zizianism?
The longest one I have is King's The Stand. 47h 47m. I wish I could find the original edition, this one has too much waffle.
Probably reading the Count of Monte Cristo. The first act is like an hour, the second act is 1100 hours and the third act is 45 minutes
Suspiciously close to a 32bit integer maximum value in milliseconds (2^32^/1000/60/60=1193 hours)
Maybe you listened to roughly 1 hour or had roughly 1 hour left and some sort of integer overflow happened that set the remaining time to integer maximum+listened time/time left
1194 hours is pretty close to 2¹⁶ seconds minutes🤔
No it's not...2^16 is 65,536.
1194 • (60 • 60) = 1194 • 3600 = 4,298,400
Your closest power of 2 is 2^22...4,194,304
Its not one audiobook but ive been listening to james aclers deathlands for a couple years now. Theres around 130 audiobooks, each one is about 8-12 hours. I use audacity to combine 5 audio books at a time and it certainly feels like one long audiobook. I might be around 400 hours now and thats still only half way
