The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke
Black Sun Rising, by C. S. Friedman
Sword and Citadel, by Gene Wolfe
Viriconium, by M. John Harrison
Moby Dick, by Herman Melville
Lord of Light, by Roger Zelazny
And those are just the ones that I've actually read a fair portion of, then stopped, despite liking most of them! There are others that I only skimmed a little through and never truly started that I am not counting, and many more that I just haven't opened at all.
