If I could make a couple suggestions:

- Robert Coover's The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop. Deeply black comedy about an ordinary schmoe obsessed with a fantasy baseball game that's more real to him than his actual life. Unfortunately doesn't seem to be available in ebook form. (ETA: I'm wrong, it is available as a Google ebook.)

- John Dos Passos's The 42nd Parallel. First book of his "U.S.A." trilogy, but stands well enough on its own. If you like E. L. Doctorow's historicals (Ragtime et al), this should be up your alley. Big sprawling story that follows the interlocking lives of five men and women, interspersed with montages of news and entertainment clippings and mini-biographies of people who shaped the time.
