I suspect I'm wasting a nomination and it won't get much support for quite valid reasons (expensive everywhere but the UK, with a jaw-dropping price Down Under; quite long; no audiobook), but it's a great book nevertheless.

I'm not sure if I'd second this, for all the reasons you mention, but I will echo that it's an excellent book and well worth bringing to people's attention - a cult classic that most don't know.
ETA: only $12.99 in Australia, though.
