I've just started reading "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet," by David Mitchell, and it is pretty much delighting me so far. It's one of the first books I've read on my Kindle that I've actually had to use the dictionary on, and it's been fun trying out that feature. Example: "propinquity" (the state of being close to someone or something: proximity.) And it has lines like this: "A wisp of black hair is escaped from her headscarf: Jacob wants it."

All in all I'm really enjoying it. I was a fan of Cloud Atlas as well.
