30 Beloved Long Books to Curl Up With

"The new year has arrived. The clock has been reset. Now is the time to tackle the really ambitious reading challenges–those massive books that have been on your list for far too long.

We've collected below 30 beloved books from various genres that clock in at 600 pages or more. These are the big reads, the serious titles. Beasts, we call them.

Reading a really thick book has several advantages. The novel remains the most immersive of storytelling formats, as far as we're concerned. When you're really locked in, you're engaging your own imagination to provide the sounds and visuals, and that trumps any big screen special effect. Extra long novels can transport you, for weeks at a time."
