Actually, did you read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao? You might like that. I loved it a lot. I also really loved Let the Great World Spin by Colm McCann. I also think you might like that one.
I don't know that either of them would be typical reading material for you, but I thought they were both beautifully written and very interesting stories. If you decide to read the McCann novel, keep going past the first chapter. That's the biggest complaint I heard from others I know who've read it. They don't like the primary character in that chapter, but like the book a lot more when he starts to figure less prominently. I, however, loved the book from word one.
Of course, if you like neither of these books, I didn't recommend them to you and I don't know what you're talking about.
