Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust.
Then again, I've been reading it for the past 2 years or so. I'm in no danger of finishing it any time soon.

Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk, for the second time. Raises a lot of unanswered questions about what path one's life should take, surrounded by on-target social commentary about the NYC upper-middle class.

Great book! One of my favorites!
If you like Russian lit (one of my specialties), may I also recommend: The Foundation Pit (Platonov), We (Zamyatin), Tatyana Tolstaya's stories.
In fact, right now I am reading "Natasha's Dance" by Orlando Figes. Cultural history of Russia, Figes is very wordy, so-so so far.

Just finished King of Torts by John Grisham. Was not my favorite. I guess I would have liked a little more suspense.

All Flesh Is Grass, by Clifford D. Simak. It's about a race of super-intelligent other-dimensional purple flowers enveloping a small, rural Wisconsin town in an impenetrable bubble. Very interesting read, as are most of Simak's works.

I am now rereading Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. FIrst reading was some time back on a trip and I think I missed some of it. Want to read it again and pay closer attention.
