Or,why not give Stephenson's Anathem a try?
At almost 1000 pages it's a big bugger and it's slow - it takes probably 200 pages before the story gets going. So it's not for the impatient, but if you really want to immerse yourself in a new world, as well delve into some mind-bending science and philosphy, it's unbeatable. And despite the slow start and heavy concepts it really does build into a proper action novel with a fantastic story and a great cast of characters.
