5 Daunting Doorstoppers You've Just Gotta Have!

[Robin Landseadel]

You forgot the collective works of William T Vollmann.
And then there's Don DeLillo's "Underworld", oh yeah!
If you want/need to stop a door so's it never opens again
try "Finnegans Wake."

Note to David Morris, the payoff in "Infinite Jest" is
harrowing and well worth the journey. I'll admit it's
quite a slog getting there. "Broom of the System"
is negligible but "A supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never
Do Again" is a classic.
