Best book I've read since Infinite Jest (by David Foster Wallace, of course, also highly recommended).

the unabridged Audible version of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle - I couldn't get into the book form but the audio book version is great.

I highly recommend it if you're into fantasy type novels. It has a unique magic system and is very well written.
