★ 5Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell, #1)
Hilary Mantel
Thomas Cromwell's rise in Henry VIII's court, told from inside his head. Dense but brilliant — stick with it.
Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove, #1)
Larry McMurtry
Two aging Texas Rangers drive cattle to Montana, and somehow it's 900 pages I never wanted to end. Funny, brutal, and completely alive.
The Bright Sword
Lev Grossman
Grossman takes on Arthur's knights after Arthur is gone. Big, melancholy, and fun.
