I'm currently reading the best book, "City of Fire" by Garth Risk Hallberg. I'm about two thirds finished and am breezing through it despite the fact that it's 940 pages long! Multiple characters in a sprawling overlapping story that takes place in the dirty, crime-filled New York of the mid 1970's.
Excellent writing and interesting characters...think of it as a cross between Thom Wolfe and Jonathan Franzen (but with characters you actually care about, not loathe).
