BIG BOOKS. I'm talking bonkers. I love them. I get satisfaction in delving into a massive 1K+ fatty. Sometimes to my own detriment, be it that they are actually bad, or inconveniently heavy and bulky. I just like delving into worlds that take their time and go around showing and telling, digressions, lists, drawings, images. etc.
Can you post and talk about some of these? I already know of the popular ones. W&P, À la recherche, 2666. So more obscure or lesser known ones would be appreciated. There was a thread a few days ago for Antagonía by Goytisolo, something like 1300pgs (HNNNGH).
War and Peace Romance of the Three Kingdoms The Brothers Karamazov Outlaws of the Marsh The Tale of Genji Joseph and his Brothers Journey to the West Dream of the Red Chamber A Moment in Peking Memoires of Charles de Gaulle
Only these com to my mind, not sure if all of them have omnibus editions. Genji has one for sure, so does W&P and BK and Joseph and his Brothers You anglo twats have a fetish for 1000+ pages long paperbacks for some reason

I've read Super K Bros, and I know of a few that yo mentioned. But a few of the Chinese ones you mentioned are new to me as well as Memoirs of Charles de Gaulle. What did you think of Joseph and His Brothers? I usually have no interest in retellings. Thanks user!
I usually go for the hardcovers and only get the paperbacks if I cant find a good quality big boy.

a lot of those are compilations, I'm looking for single unified works. Das Kapital of course is one, but no one has ever read that or ever will.

David Harvey has. Probably a couple of others, like Jack Graham or Zizek or someone memey

Joseph and his Brothers is your typical Thomas Mann novel. It starts out like a novella and grows into something bigger gradually. The prose can be a bit tiresome. Also try Magic Mountain too, but I think that clocks in at around 800-900 pages Stanislaw Reymont's The Peasants is also quite long. It's a modernist portrayal of Polish peasant life. Another longer Chinese novel that comes to mind is Jin Ping Mei, or The Plum in the Golden Vase, but I'm not exactly sure if it reaches the 1000 pages mark.

That's like being surprised that Battlefield Earth wasn't mentioned.
