Shogun and LOTR, probably. also I could swear that one of the harry potter books has ~1000 pages, depending on language(speaking of which, it took me forever to read the last book, because it just bored me oh so terribly out of my mind).
Also wait, speaking of trilogies, I could swear I have the first five "books" of the hitchhiker's guide in one hardcover version with 1000+ pages.

Hell, if we're counting compilation volumes... the Bourne Trilogy is one book on my shelf (1400ish pages).

I've also got the "great books of the western world" collection (Encyclopædia Britannica, 1st edition), I've read most of it and I'd say somewhere around half of its 54 volumes are around a thousand pages. I also read two translations of the bible back when I was sorta into that sort of thing.

I know there's a volume or two somewhere in the Wheel of Time that are over a thousand pages, and I've read that series a few times. Same goes for A Song of Ice and Fire.

I can't really claim Lord of the Rings, though... because I read 'em as separate volumes, actually from The Hobbit through Return of the King, and then The Silmarillion... my mom's copies when I was a kid.

**edit**
Forgot the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide. Read that as one book, too.
edit2-scratch that, it's under 900 pages.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy -- would not do again
Harry Potter series (most books are upwards 700+ pages) -- would read again

That's pretty much it :V

Also, for those in need, here's a list of 103 books with over 1000 pages. [http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4765.Over_a_1000_Pages]
Ah, I love goodreads.com. It would seem that I have quite a few books with over a 1000 pages then; now all I'm lacking is the motivation to read them all ...

Storm of Swords - George R. R. Martin
Dance with Dragons - George R. R. Martin
It - Stephen King

I am currently reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, which is 1200 pages, but that won't be finished for quite a while.

Well, there's the entire Game of Thrones series, Under the Dome, by Stephen King, and apparently the 5th Harry Potter book, a long time ago.

Currently working my way through "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel" as well.

Well LOTR is really three books. If we are being loose like that I'd probably count all of the Song of Ice and Fire, and Wheel of Time I have read.

Umm,

The Lord of the Rings
The Way of Kings
Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
A dance of Dragons
A few of the wheel of Time books were a thousand I think or at least very close.
The Bible
Imajica

I think there have been a few others, I used to think it was a big accomplishment but then I saw like others have posted it's usually just an issue of formatting, I've found that most books I read are around the 700-900 range in most formats, weirdly I have a few that look like they should be a thousand pages but are like 600 and others which are much thinner but are around 1200. I also read a 500 page book about a sailor who worked in a light house that felt about 2000 pages long and took me three weeks to finish.

I can only think of series that are that long. Does it count if it is a series contained in an omnibus? I'm pretty sure Eisenhorn was over 1000 pages. I've got some text books that come close to a thousand pages.

Like I said, you should go by what you think. Have you up until now considered it to be one novel? If so, go ahead and count it. If not, nope, doesn't count.

I question the legitimacy of some of the A Song of Ice and Fire books as entries. Several of them only clock in at over 1000 due to the listing of the Houses and maps at the end of the book. I hardly consider that to be inclusive.

As for myself, most have already been listed. LotR, the legitimate ASoiaF books, Le Comte de Monte Cristo and The Dark Tower. I could have sworn there was a Clancy book or two I read that clocked in at over 1000 (Rainbow Six or Without Remorse) but I could be wrong.

Uhmmmm... a lot?

I read fast, and thus I really don't care much for how many pages it has - except for the happy knowledge that a book the size of my nightstand will last me a while.
