*I know Finnegan’s Wake is longer than Ulysses, but 1. The challenge of the read will more than make up for its “lack” in pagination, 2. Some editions of Ulysses actually are 1000 pages in length, and 3. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a good enough reader to tackle Finnegan’s Wake (let alone actually enjoy it). So there.
A Year of Big Books 
Jake, The only book on your list I’ve read is “Underworld,” by Don DeLillo and I’m still not sure what it was about. He kept going off in different directions, and then occasionally returning to a familiar character. If/when “Cosmopolis,” I loved! (You might guess why I bothered to read it.) DeLillo found ways of saying things that fascinated me.
Jake, Part of my comment got deleted. “If/when you read “Underworld,” please tell me what it was about.”
