1Q84
by Haruki Murakami
Buy on AmazonSorry, this one is also very long. But Murakami is left to his own devices here, and it’s a beautiful result. Some think, at 928 pages, the novel needs editing, but the looseness is why I loved it. It is a magical, heartfelt hodgepodge of speculative fiction and nostalgic melodrama. Read it when you get sick.

"Haruki Murakami's trilogy "1Q84" kept me spellbound for all of its 1,328 pages, which is unusual for me. Such an unrealistic story, yet so realistically told."
