Well I thought /lit/ might know of one which isn't genre fiction.

How about the works of Thomas Mann and Robert Musil? I figure "Joseph und seine Brüder" and "Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften" are especially robust door stoppers, though I’ve read neither so far.

Google, nigger. Stop being a dipshit and go FIND a book

Thanks man. Google, will check out.

Another German-writing author tending towards the big society pieces (afaik) is Heimito von Doderer. "Die Strudlhofstiege: oder Melzer und die Tiefe der Jahre" is his best known work and nearly a thousand pages. And he’s written plenty more novels.

The Magic Mountain
The Buddenbrooks
Gravity's Rainbow
Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy
Ulysses
Vanity Fair
Musashi
Count of Monte Cristo
The Three Musketeers trilogy (the third book alone is almost 2000 pages long)
Les Miserables
Notre Dame de Paris
In Search of Lost Time, if you consider it a single book
The Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature (Journey to the West, for instance)
Genji Monogatari
The Sea of Fertility (Mishima's tetralogy)
The Book of the New Sun, The Illuminatus Trilogy or Arthur C. Clarke's Odysseys, in case you change your mind and want to try some sci-fi (or kinda sci-fi) series
And, in case you want to try some Spanish literature, La Regenta or Fortunata y Jacinta.

These are the ones that first came to my mind. Most of them are pretty /lit/core so you might be familiar with the titles by now.

i use a small triangular piece of wood as a door stopper
using a book seems wasteful
