With all deference, dear WOW, I believe the series about the Pallisers was by Trollope. Galsworthy's contribution to endless fiction was The Forsyte Saga, which isn't bad if you can get through it. My contribution to what I've found interminable is Hugo's Notre Dame, which I tried in both English and French 3 or 4 times before I could get past the 5th chapter. Strangely enough, I have always found Les Miserables, which is a good bit longer than Notre Dame, fascinating; I read it in French all the way through at least once every 5 years or so.
