4. "The Word" by Irving Wallace

At 600-plus pages, it's the longest novel I've ever read all in one sitting. I read it for the first time in 1972 and literally could not put it down. It's about a stunning archaeological discovery that begins a worldwide religious and cultural upheaval ... and then the owner of the public relations firm hired to publicize the discovery begins to have doubts about its legitimacy. I found my copy of it in a box of books I had stored away and just started reading it again. Not all in one sitting this time, my 70-something eyes are not up to what my 20-something eyes were capable of.
