Housesitting in a snow-laden cabin... which book to read?

[kirkaptain]

So. I'm sitting in a snow covered cabin, with three books on my desk: A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man and Ulysses by Joyce, and The Brothers Karamozov by Dostoevsky. I have a solid week of sitting around and reading in front of me and need to choose a path (I know I should read Portrait before Ulysses...).

This is a rare opportunity to throw myself completely at a novel (4+hours a day) without interruption. Which should I choose?

Karamazov. I enjoyed the HS standard Crime and Punishment, and I've heard good things about Karamazov.

4 hours a day isn't throwing yourself into a book. 16 hours a day is throwing yourself into a book...

How about The Stand (uncut version)?
