Some of my all time favorites: Pillars of the Earth, The Stand, Clan of the Cave Bear, Lonesome Dove, Aztec. Have not read Shogun maybe it belongs? Any other recs in this category, spans many years, often but not always a longer book where each chapter is a story on its own, and maybe some learning about history.

Cryptonomicon – set partially during WW2. You’ll learn history and about cryptography!
I would maybe classify Thorn Birds and Gone with the Wind as “epic”. Definitely agree with The Stand and Lonesome Dove. I also love A Prayer for Owen Meany and consider it ” epic”
