I remembered that I left my English version behind in Canada.
I have an inclination for thickish and lenthy books. War and Peace is amony my favorite 20. But if you like to try Tolstoy, his Resurrection is also a good start. I'll try to recall more details of the book to have the right to put something down here. What impressed me most was how a man as old as he could describe that vividly a picture of Natalia, a young lady/girl's soul?
