I am not sure about your literary tastes, as I haven't read the writers you mention, but here are some books I found in Connect that I think are good:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy (I bought it from Connect, but I can't find it right now. This is a very dark and sad novel, so buy it only if you don't mind a little bit of depression )

Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. If you like character development, I think you might enjoy this. Besides, if you read him now, you will be able to say that you read him before he was awarded the Nobel prize.

My Name is Red by Orham Pamuk. Very baroque and lyric. It takes place in Istanbul in the fifteenth century (if I remember correctly) and it's an intereting view on the conflict between Western and Islamic societies. It's also a love story and a crime investigation.

If you like epic fantasy, then I would recommend Robin Hobb or George R.R. Martin.
