The new Harry Potter book, due to be released June 21, apparently clocks in at 255,000 words.

NaNoWriMo, eat your heart out.

Oh, really? I'd understood that 255,000 words was the final, edited count.

(The King James Bible, by contrast, weighs in at 181,000 words, IIRC.)

I remember reading about Piers Anthony thinking that Macroscope was huge at 100,000...
