As for the other "any genre" recommendations:

Anthony Powell's Dance to the Music of Time, which is a 12 novel sequence about the cultural and military life of mid-20th century. I read all 12 of them over the course of a year and greatly enjoyed them.

Jeff and Ann Vandermeer's massive Big Book of Science Fiction is an excellent anthology of science fiction from 1845 to early 2010s.

I haven't seen anyone say J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings yet so I will toss that out there. ETA: Someone did add that while I was typing...

Any one of my favorite doorstoppers is Haruki Murakami's 1Q84.
I got 1Q84 on my nook its on my TBR list. I am trying to finish up two trilogies ( The passage Series by Justin Cronin and Crescent City by Sarah J Maas) then I want to Jump into Brandon Sanderson. I want to read the Stormlight Archive, also big books, by the end of the year. I want to read A Suitable Boy, 1Q84, 2666, Ordinary Monsters, Jonathan Strange and Dr Norrell but I may not get to those till 2025
