I haven't read anything longer than a magazine article in the last 15 years (unless you consider the FSM to be literature) but, if you like Sci-Fi/Fantasy, it's hard to go wrong with anything by Asimov, Robert Heinlein ("Stranger In A Strange Land" is one of my favorites), John W Campbell Jr, Ray Bradbury, Ursula K Le Guin, Ben Bova, Poul Anderson, and the other "Sci-Fi/Fantasy Masters" from 1950s-1980s. A slightly more recent recommendation would be "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson.
