[Bookpossum]

I think everything of Neil Gaiman's is worth reading - he's one of my favourite writers. But a real stand-out for me is "Neverwhere".

Edit:
I forgot to answer the question posed by the thread. I am currently reading Hilary Mantel's "A Change of Climate". She is a recent discovery of mine and she is brilliant. I have previously read "A Place of Greater Safety" and she does historical fiction wonderfully, so I am looking forward to reading "Wolf Hall" (Booker Prize winner in 2009) before too long.
