Snowcrash is a great, long sci-fi novel with incredibly wacky and in-depth world building.
American Psycho is a long, slowly creeping horror masterpiece which exponentially ramps up near the end. You won't be able to put it down but will regret asking yourself "when does this get violent?"
Midnight's Children is a masterwork of magical realism
Blood Meridian feels three times longer than it is due to the meticulous description of the American west. It is a beautiful, depressing story, as all McCarthy books are.
If you want to get as classical as you can, read The Iliad.
