Top epic novels

By epic I mean books that bring manly tears to your eyes.

So far items from /tv/, /a/, /jp/ and /v/ have had their share of epicness, but I personally have not read any novels that goes beyond just "hmm, it's an interesting story".


Any recommended title that from /book/ that can claim this category?

There is a clear disparity in quality of prose between Tolkien and, for example, Dickens. If you can't see this, then you are a pretentious nerd who doesn't read many good books.
