J.R. by William Gaddis is 700 pages of almost entirely dialogue. One extra thing to gain out of it is its heavy emphasis on making different characters unique through the way they talk since the novel is written without the use of speech marks to signify who is talking. If you do decide to read it, it will definitely be challenging; the site williamgaddis dot org has annotations for it, which should help as a companion.
