Well, if you like historical fiction like W&P, you should try Patrick O'Brien's Master and Commander series. Picture a Napoleonic War Royal Navy swashbuckler as written by Jane Austen, and you'll get the idea. It's got amazing language and characters, such that a huge part of his fan base is female!

His fans often work their way through all 20 books and then start again. It's one continuous narrative as his two heroes, a naval captain and his ship's surgeon who happens to be an intelligence agent for the British Admiralty, sail their way around the world several times.

Second Patrick O’Brian, he’s a one man world unto himself with his twenty novels that are really one huge novel. Can you imagine the character development you get over the span of twenty novels that feature the same five or six main characters?
