Masters of Description

Sup guys.

I've hit a really bad stumbling block when it comes to my writing. It goes something like...3/4's of my writing is dialog. No exceptions.

I believe that the dialog itself is good, but when I read the stories themselves they seem very quick. It's a very odd feeling, and it definitely feels like it because of the excessive dialog/description ratio.

So, if you guys have any suggestions, any books with great description or written by authors known for it would be much appreciated.

But the characters cannot talk like normal people

Actually, I think you'll find that normal people don't talk in huge paragraphs, it's more quick snippets from one person to the other. You want to write dialogue the way people actually talk, that is your goal.
