hi /lit/
My exams are over and i want to read something epic in scope ,books that need 700+ pages to tell their story .
I've read pic related and and the rest of Pynchon.
I've read Gaddis ,DFW(and regreted it),Barth,Tolstoy,Vollmann and Bolano.
is there any tome left to read ?
>>
Herodotus' history is around 1600 pages long.
>>
War & Peace
Anna Kerenina
Don Quixote
The Brothers Karamazov (don't be diving into this without having experienced Dostoevsky's chronology of works before it - try Crime & Punishment, Notes from Underground and The Idiot - the Idiot is 700+ pages but the other two are not, although altogether and included with Brothers Karamazov you'd be reaching a heck of a page count, my man)
The Border Trilogy
Lonesome Dove
Les Miserables (I'm honestly considering reading this for Summer and because I have plans to see the stage show in London before the year is out)
Knausgaard's My Struggle (6 volume semi-autobiographical novel)
In Search of Lost Time (7 volume novel from Proust)

And just for funsies, if you're interested in graphic novels at all, the original 6 volume manga of Akira is wonderful and offers so much more than the film (although the film is a genuine masterpiece of animation). Junji Ito's Tomie, Gyo and Uzumaki are also available in single volume tomes which are around 600-800 pages each. If you like disturbing, grotesque body-horror and modern Japanese takes on Eldritch beasts, it's a treat.
