Okay, I just saw your preferences... I guess it's hard to write more than 500 pages about someone having a downward spiral with drugs or an eating disorder. There ought to be some long books about dystopia, but I can't think of any. Here's my best try:



The Stand by Stephen King. Long but easy to read, very absorbing. It's about the few people left after a flu kills most of the world. This is the unabridged version, but it was first published with a lot cut out. That version is still over 500 pages. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Stand/Stephen-King/e/9780385199575/?itm=2



City of Golden Shadow is the first book in the Otherland series by Tad Williams. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/City-of-Golden-Shadow/Tad-Williams/e/9780886777630/?itm=1



Dune by Frank Herbert It may not sound like you'd like it, but check it out. It's awesome. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Dune/Frank-Herbert/e/9780441172719/?itm=1



These were what I listed before I saw your preferences.



Herman Wouk is an author whose works are sometimes read in literature classes. A few of them are over 500 pages, and they're very absorbing to read:

The Winds of War http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Winds-of-War/Herman-Wouk/e/9780316952668/?itm=1

Marjorie Morningstar http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Marjorie-Morningstar/Herman-Wouk/e/9780316955133/?itm=1



Colleen McCullough's The Thorn Birds is well respected. If you like great love stories, this might be the one for you. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Thorn-Birds/Colleen-McCullough/e/9780380018178/?itm=1



Most of Leon Uris's books are over 500 pages. Here are two:



Exodus http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Exodus/Leon-Uris/e/9780553258479/?itm=1

Trinity http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Trinity/Leon-Uris/e/9780060827885/?itm=4

Scroll down each link page for the book synopsis. The page also shows the page count for the book.

Well i know this book that is more than 500 pages long but it is made up of three stories that are loosely linked...and it is mostly about witches,vampires,werewolves and forbidden love.It's called NightWorld..its also a series

Bourne Identity

Bourne Supremacy



They are both over 500 pages, and are immensely interesting; lots of thrills, action, mystery, and intrigue. You'll be doing yourself a favor to read them.

You would like one of these:

1984

The Postman

Catch 22

Or if you would like something a bit longer, and with even more depth:

Atlas Shrugged

Science, A candle in the dark
