I’ve read The Brothers Karamazov. I’m almost finished with Middlemarch. And I am reading weekly from The Count Of Monte Cristo to pace it out over this whole year.
With Middlemarch, I would read through one of its eight internal books in a weekend and then pause in favor of a standalone novel during the week as a break, and repeat. I could see myself doing that again with another literary cinderblock.
The novels I’ve read in between have been from Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Dostoevsky, and Gogol.
That said, give me you recommendations for my next major commitment that will last me until the spring.

Lonesome dove? It’s technically a series but I think it just honestly such a good standalone
If you enjoyed Vonnegut, some Thomas Pynchon presses the same buttons for me – Gravity’s Rainbow, specifically.
If you like fantasy, the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. Each book is 1000+ pages and there are 5 (plus two novellas).
