Hefty Tomes for the Europe Trip
I have this idealised plan, that one day I'm going to do a 3-month car tour of Europe. During this trip, I'm going to read all the 1000+ page novels that I've been putting off all my life.
The idea isn't too far fetched, apart from the part where I have a full-time job that I need to keep up, and I doubt that they will give me 3 months leave on the trot. That doesn't stop me from creating a list though.

- Ulysses by James Joyce
- A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth
- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
If that's not enough, I might throw in:
- Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, and
- Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (which isn't over 1000 pages, but pretty close)
Other suggestions?
