I Like Big Books! discussion

I love big books - probably because I am a fast reader and a short book is over before I barely get into it. I love lots of description, development of characters and lots of story. That being said I was wondering if anyone in this group would like to share some of their favorite really big books? Some of mine are Swan Song by Robert McCammon and The Stand (The unedited version) by Stephen King as well as most of the books James Michener wrote.

my favorite big book will always be count of Monte cristo by Alexander Dumas, it was my first book to read and transport me to and adventure, love and of course mystery at the best

Besides The Stand by Stephen King, my favorite big books are the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and the Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, and his Century triology. Big books have always been my favorite!

Hi! I just finished a big book I very much enjoyed: Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese...which reminded me how much I liked Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I read both of them many tears ago and they could defiantly use a re-read. :)
