I've just finished it and it is one of the most compelling books I have read in a long time.

Stardust by Neil Gaimon. Fairy-tale-esque and very well written.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov...
It's been about ten years since I last read it and it is still gripping.
Just beware of Annushka and the sunflower oil...

'Otherland Volume One: City of Golden Shadow' for the second time. Not as good as those that come after it, but still very compelling.

Yes, 'Down Under' is the most hilarious, scream out loud book I've read all year! 'Thief of Time' (Terry Pratchett) is equal to it.
Personally, for me: 'Mind's Sky' by Timothy Ferris and the 3rd Alanna book, 'Woman Who Rides Like a Man'(I think). (With all the caveats I mentioned before...)
