I want to read an epic novel (preferably large) any suggestions?
Something absolutely fantastic, and I mean, AMAZING. Something like Stephen King's Under the Dome or his The Stand. It has to be large, it has to be well written (loveable characters, hateable characters, and, of course, be epic in every aspect. I don't mean epic as in GREAT, I mean epic as in LARGE in story, LARGE in the journey involved, and makes you give a LARGE "Ohhhh!" when you're done. I really need it. I love books like that. I don't mind if it's a single massive novel, or like a mini-series type thing.
Thanks.
That one, "Fall of Roman Empire," is that it's whole name, or is it "The Fall of the Roman Empire"? And by whom is it written by?
