Probably because of my own screwed-up family, I really enjoy reading about families more nuts than mine. My jam is long/dense, complex, sweeping family dramas.
I asked the librarian today for recommendations and stumped her because I’d already read so many!
In terms of what I’ve read and loved already: all of Franzen’s works, The Bee Sting, Pachinko, Homegoing, The Poisonwood Bible, The House of the Spirits.

It’s a bit lighter than your usual fare, but All Families are Psychotic by Douglas Coupland should do nicely
