Recommend a book at me

GatodeCafe said:

Alright, I've been reading a lot lately, but I've found myself at a sort of plateau, I'm almost finished with my latest book, and then there's one more, and then I won't have anything to read.

The last few books I've read:
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
God is Dead
Against the Day
Villa Incognito
Londonstani

and I'm going to get to work on "Queer" once I'm done with On the Road.

Is there anybody what can recommend me a book or two (or authors for that matter) based on what I've just said?

A panorama of human desire and enterprise, Bruce Murkoff’s first novel is exceptional for its ambition, its grasp of history and, above all, its stunning array of characters.

Waterborne is set in the Great Depression, and culminates at the Boulder Dam: the greatest engineering project of its time, and a beacon of hope capable of altering the course of society. The nation, crippled by poverty and despair, clearly needs a transformation, and the same is true of the people. Filius Poe grew up with everything, then lost nearly all of it. Lew Beck felt deprived of everything, and now means to have his revenge. Lena McCardell, who thought she had exactly what she wanted, discovers almost overnight that only by taking her son and joining the multitude already on the road will she have the chance of a fresh start and a brighter future.

From various directions and distances, these three are inevitably drawn to this vast construction site in the Nevada desert, along with the stories of their families, their friends and their fellow travelers–the novel itself developing the force of a mighty river, then channeling and harnessing its prodigious energy. With generous understanding and absolute authority, Bruce Murkoff captures the conflicting imperatives of these vivid lives as well as the heart and breadth of the country through which they move, and whose destiny they help shape.
