I really liked Demons if you haven't read it yet I recommend it.

I had always heard that Clarissa is long, but I somehow didn’t realize how long it is until I saw a copy in a book store the other day. It’s seriously just massive. Has anyone here fully read it? Is it enjoyable reading if I like other 18th century English novelists?

Definitely add The Sleepwalkers to your list OP, Broch is one of the most under-appreciated novelists of all time as far as I’m concerned.
