After reading kramus's recommendations, I can't help but think of Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon. I consumed that book; despite its length I could not put it down until I was done.
Baraka also mentioned a lot of good ones. If you're interested in reading an epic gone wrong, try John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
