I have been reading Finnegans Wake over the course of this year, a few pages a day, along with a group over on reddit. It is one of the very few things that still keeps me visiting reddit at all.

Since the group are aiming to have a few weeks to review the book, I now have only two weeks before finishing it. It has been quite a ride, hovering right on the edge of comprehension at best - and usually some way beyond.

Last year, I read Proust's In Search of Lost Time, and the year before War and Peace - which makes particular sense in this format, since there are 365 chapters.

Anyhoo, I am now giving thought to my next annual big read. Some options are The Brothers Karamazov, Gravity's Rainbow, and Crime and Punishment but I sm undecided and would like to consider some others.

Have you done anything of the sort? Do you have any suggestions?

EDIT - and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms sounds like an interesting one too.
