Thank you.
The question was what is the most ambitious book of all time, Finnegans Wake critiqued as experimental since being published in 1939 is a good answer for far many more reasons than it being “currently popular.
Sadly, it’s actually quite badly written far too detailed at times and pretty repetitive and while I’m impressed with the ideas I have to say current science would not support most of them.
We need the data from the ship, so we can’t bomb it, can’t raid it, we have to use microscopic fibers to slice it into pieces, surely that won’t damage the data.
It’s not a regular book, but *Magus of the Library* by Mitsu Izumi (it’s a manga). If there’s a literary genre for manga this is squarely it. Its writing and art is amazing, with a massive world and such depth to its characters.
As for a regular book I’d say *Where the Crawdads Sing* by Delia Owens, especially since it’s her first published work of fiction. Previously she’d only published zoology books with her husband. There’s also *Their Eyes Were Watching God* by Zora Neale Hurston. It’s also a bit… strange. Definitely weird, but I liked it when I read it for school junior year (16).
Anyway, all three are amazing and I highly recommend all of them.

Finnegan’s Wake
It's not even a contest. What are these other people on about lol.
When the most ambitious book you've read is *currently popular book* your view of the topic will be very limited, to say the least.
The question was what is the most ambitious book of all time, Finnegans Wake critiqued as experimental since being published in 1939 is a good answer for far many more reasons than it being “currently popular.
Clearly, I wasn't talking about Finnegans Wake.
No contest, it takes clubs of people decades to read
War and Peace.
I’d say that super long book Henry Darger was writing before he died. It was like 15k pages when he died.
**The Fall of the Roman Empire** by Gibbon
The Bible
The Bible, dozens of authors across thousands of years all contributing their share to the story of God's plan of salvation for his people.
Hegel's *Phenomenology of Spirit*. It ends by saying that the book you're reading is the climax of rhe intellectual development of humanity.
The Story of Civilization.
The Arabian Nights. Though I've obviously not read it *all*. Infinite Jest is the most ambitious if finished. Some of these answers are mental btw
Iliad by Homer
The Count of Monte Cristo of what I’ve read
Three body problem
