I use "War and Peace" for this.

  Good idea, I might use Crime & Punishment!

  I used war and peace to explain to a CEO how wasteful a mobile API was; twelve distinct items of data to display but we sent JSON larger than war and peace.

    I used to use this as my example for how big a megabyte actually is. I think the entire text is 4 MB uncompressed (a nagging voice in my head says 16 MB, but I think that's just the residual part of me that never really believed how big a MB actually is).

      An ASCII page is about 4k, so roughly 1000 pages.
