Hmm. I've nothing against longer books, when a longer book is demanded. I liked Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars), but recognise that they're lacking in some ways, chiefly characterisation).
In the same vein as 1421 (which I've not read, but which I have heard about) is Kim Stanley Robinson's Years of Rice and Salt - much recommended.
