Currently I'm working through The Reality Dysfunction by Peter Hamilton, but since it's one book in a series of six, I don't think many would want to take that up for casual reading material.
What I do recommend is Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein. It is labeled as science fiction, but leans more towards drama than actual science. The plot is simple: it regards the life of a one Lazarus Long, who has lived for 2400 years, and the many 'lives' he has lived over the millenia. Most of the book regards him telling stories of his past so there is a definitive history of his life, plus drama concerning his future. It runs almost 600 pages, so it should keep most occupied for a few weeks.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
