Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Ah, a Gaiman fan - woohoo!

If you've not read Good Omens by Gaiman and Pratchett I highly recommend it!.

Try anything by Terry Pratchett, he and Gaiman are friends - very different writing styles, but Pratchett is hilarious, one of my favorite authors!.

Gaiman writes a lot of urban fantasy, give City of Bones by Cassandra Clare a try, it's also urban fantasy!. Cassie writes very interesting and engaging characters!.

I second the recommendation to try out Oscar Wilde, he's amazing!. Try The Picture of Dorian Gray for something deep and witty!. Or for something a little lighter give The Importance of Being Ernest a try, it's a play and is absolutely hilarious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try some China Mieville--very much like all of the above authors--some Anthony Burgess (the guy who wrote A Clockwork Orange), or if you really want a head-trip, Flann O'Brien (At Swim-Two-Birds in particular)!. If you want classics, Hunter S!. Thompson, William S!. Burroughs, and James Joyce would be right up your alley!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mirror Dreams then Mirror Wakes by Catherine Webb!
i think they are teen based novels, but they range through the years (my little sis 16, me 24 and my mum, i wont reveal her age)

if the title don't give it away they based on a dream world and the happenings of Laenen Kite!.!.!. strongly recommend you read these, let me know if you enjoy them as much as i did!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

DON'T read that Twilight crap!.!.!. (shudder)!.
Try Roger Zelazny, Piers Anthony, Fred Saberhagen, and Terry Brooks, and especially David Sedaris!
James Axler is good in his Deathlands series!.

I LOVED the Pullman series--I hope they make movies out of the other two!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Joseph O'Connor- Star of the Sea (about the Irish potato famine)!.
Oscar Wilde- is pretty weird but in a good way!.
Margaret Atwood- The Handmaid's Tale (About a future Religious Extremist American dystopia!.)
Nick Cave- And the *** Saw the Angel (Which was written by the Great Man (I'm so sad lol!) in Berlin during a heroin binge!.)
Arthur C Clarke- The Star (A short science fiction story with a religious twist!.)
Wu Cheng'en- Journey to the West (Which the TV series Monkey was based on!!!)

P!.S There is a theory that books choose you and not the other way round!. You could go to the bookshop/ charity shop/ car boot sale and see what grabs you!.
