Or (because I'm Canadian) Margaret Atwood's trilogy...*Oryx and Crake* (you'll never look at chicken fingers the same way), *After the Flood* and *Mad Addam. *
Quite a chilling vision of the future because it's entirely plausible. Also , as Steve P. noted, try the Patrick O Brien novels - exquisite writing, great characters, and beautiful sailing ships. And a good accompaniment is *A Sea of Words . * This is a very detailed glossary of all the nautical terminology, plus footnotes regarding late 18-19th century history, culture,...etc. Riv content...my pet name for my Rivendell road is The Nutmeg of Consolation ...something to do with the Harvest Gold frame and brown saddle and all.
