I have to do a 4 month stay in jail (less if I land a trustee position) and I was wondering what are some good thick books that can I can fill up a lot of time reading. I’m already planning on reading some things I’ve always avoided like Infinite Jest and maybe Ulysses. But I figured I would get a couple of chunky Warhammer Omnibuses too.
Big thick fun books.

Palahniuk has some great stuff if you’re looking for stuff that’s fun and entertaining.
I was definitely about to suggest infinite jest. Look online there are like freaking *pamphlets* to take with you.
House of Leaves
Swan Song
Extreme Ownership cuz why not. Might be nice to leave it behind if you can when you get out.
Wild Animus
I dunno, what kind of stuff you like?
I think you can get all the murderbot novellas and novels in one binding now. Murderbot diaries by Martha Wells. That would be my choice because I finished this series and immediately turned around and reread them.
Her books of the Raksura are completely different from Murderbot but I read them during a lockdown and found them so comforting.
Another comfort read for me that felt like being taken on a vacation to Tahiti was Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard. I’m not sure if print versions are available it might just be ebooks.
