Sometimes a Great Notion

The Once and Future King (White)
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Murakami)

Is The Savage Detectives long enough? I see editions that range from 577 to 656.

No, it’s included on are botm collection

And is 2666 by Bolano considered too long? There is a paperback edition that is over 1,100 pages but the regular editions are 898 or 912.

Oh, never mind. I see that 2666 is in the yearly line up.

I'll throw in the same selections I've put in for the last x years:

The Betrothed (Manzoni)
Melmoth the Wanderer (Maturin)
Finnegans Wake (Joyce)
Gravity's Rainbow (Pynchon)

I second Patrick’s The Betrothed and Gravity’s Rainbow and add The Idiot which was a quarterly read before my time.

If there is a list with past reads that I should have checked first I apologize. I have two can't believe I haven't read it books on my list to nominate:
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
and then two french options :)
The Three Musketeers byAlexandre Dumas
Lost Illusions by Honoré de Balzac

I nominate Confessions by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
I'd also be happy with some of the other choices.

I’ll nominate Crime and Punishment.

Enjoyed the Franzen book this year, hope I can find the time for one of the quarterly reads next year also.

I would like to read Celestial Harmonies, so I will go with that one.
