I'm poised to read the Wool omnibus soon, and I'd like to know similar options. To avoid people recommending me War & Peace, and The Count of Monte Christo, and even LoTR, I'm asking you to come up with omnibuses that are not classical literature, are not literary in nature, and clock at at least 600 pages in any format except large print...Go.
If you are reading the Wool Omnibus, do you also have the Shift Omnibus (~520 pages) and Dust (~466 pgs)? If not, I would highly recommend reading them as well since they are the continuations of the same story. They don't appear to be a single volume but certainly add up to more than 600 pages and with the Wool omnibus well over 1000 pages.

For other omnibuses, I have the Hunger Games omnibus which was a very good deal at Amazon a while back, well below what it is right now. I have also added the King Raven Trilogy (a retelling of Robin Hood) by Stephen R. Lawhead to my library wish list which has a >4 rating on Amazon, but haven't had a chance to read any of them yet.
