The unabridged version comes in at around 2,500 pages.
Or were you looking only for fiction?

Yep. Oops.
My intentions were so clear in my own mind that I neglected to state that I am looking for novels.
I'll add that both the Rebecca West and the Gibbons go beyond mere doorstops! Right up there with Pepys' diaries. Each a project for a year-long read. Perhaps sometime, but not next year.
