Since I adored the first three on your list--and pretty much everything else I've read by those authors--I suspect I should take the other two as must-read recommendations.

(I'm entirely unconcerned about whether my taste in books is "good" or "bad." Considering that I've read over half a million words of DCU fanfic in the last few weeks, I think it's a fairly irrelevant consideration.)
