The MySQL TEXT datatype can hold 65,535 characters. Not sure if that's going to be big enough? I copied and pasted a bunch of text into a word document. Without using any line breaks, I was able to fit approximately 3960 characters on one page. That's Times New Roman 12pt font with 3/4 inch margins on all sides.
65,535 divided by 3960 is 16.5 pages of text. That's quite a bit, and it certainly suited my needs.
