Just looking for books to get consumed in without much thinking involved. Just want a great story. I don’t need to read The Odyssey where I won’t understand half the page. Can be any genre.
The Pillars of the Earth series by Ken Follett. Each book is long and the story just sucks you in without much thought.

2 longish books come to mind, though they’re not VERY long:
– *The World According to Garp* by John Irving
– *Middlesex* by Jeffrey Eugenides
For a VERY long book that’s pretty light reading, with sprinkles of humor, I suggest *Don Quixote* by Miguel de Cervantes. I read the Edith Grossman translation and it was very easy to read.
