I Like Big Books! discussion

Post suggestions for future reads and I'll pull from this topic for the bi-monthly polls. Requirements for the text: Must be at least 500 pages in length.

I feel like the group (judging from the past couple of polls) tends to like more classic works, though I will try to include a contemporary choice every month :)

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, The Magus by John Fowles, The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

.. to name a few on my tbr

I shared a list (from the chiunkster challenge) of big books on my blog before I found this group and all the books on it are 460 pages or longer. A few that have been on my tbr for a while that I'd like to suggest are:
- (The) Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
- Villette by Charlotte Bronte (I also second The Tenant of Wildfell Hall suggestion above)
- East of Eden by John Steinbeck
- Bleak House by Charles Dickens
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

The chunkster challenge list:

The Grapes of Wrath?

Two book suggestions:
East Lynne
South Riding

I was thinking about some big books and these came to my mind: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Shirely by Charlotte Brontë, Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, Middlemarch by George Elliot, Emma by Jane Austen, The Old Curiosity Shop and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

I already haver a copy of Shirley, so this would be the perfect excuse to finally read it! :)

I've really been wanting read Middlemarch, so I'd definitely be down for that. I'd also like to re-read The Count of Monte Cristo - I read it in middle school, but I hardly remember anything about it and I'm sure I missed a lot.
