Wow, awesome! Glad you didn't know what you were getting yourself into before you started ;).
I think I'm going to give The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie, a shot -- though, as the first book in an epic fantasy trilogy, it might not be optimal -- might be better to do a stand-alone story. Other option is Best Served Cold, which is stand-alone and is nicely chopped into eleven'ish different sections:
1) Introduction to Main Character #1 (MC1) 2) Introduction to Main Character #2 (MC2) 3) MC1 recovers from nasty shit that happened to her in the first chapter and builds her Revenge Team (which includes MC2) 4-10) Seven Revenges 11) Denouement/epilogue
Problem is, I just reread it a month ago -- might be good, as I won't be distracted by the awesome prose/story, but won't be as interesting ... h'm.
