LilKitty115 Barakiel9909 Af Mas Anything written by Neil Gaiman Seconded. Especially the Sandman series, if you can get past the fact that they're comic books... Anansi Boys was another of his better works which is an actual novel. Thirded. He is an amazing writer, I'd recommend him to anyone. Go for his short stories in Fragile Things and Smoke and Mirrors if you like something a little darker. Stardust is one of my favorite books, the movie that's based on it doesn't do it justice. And I love Neverwhere! For other authors, I enjoy David Eddings, Mercedes Lackey and Raymond E. Feist for fantasy and Philippa Gregory for historical fiction. She writes great books about Henry VIII's wives if you're into that kind of thing.
If I remember correctly, I was really disappointed with Fragile Things. I read Smoke and Mirrors and loved it, so I picked up Fragile Things (once I finally found a copy), but it just...I dunno...I read a handful of the stories, but just couldn't get into a lot of them... And I'm a proud owner of a pre-movie version of Stardust, without those crappy screenshots added in once the movie came out...
But Brandon Sanderson's Elantris was amazing for a first novel, so I recommend that. Also, Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch series has some interesting ideas on good and evil, and has a wonderful movie version out.

Proto Ark I've been reading books by David Clement-Davies and Micheal Crichton. Crichton is good, I got The Sphere and The Andromeda Strain. Dean Koontz is good, he's like stephen king, but Dean Koontz doesnt take 3 pages to describe what a table looks like. Im currently waiting on his third Frankenstien book, (look up the details, I know some chick wrote it originally). He's got some pretty good sci-fi, if you like Aliens, read Taken, and if you like ghosts and stuff read the Odd Thomas books. And for a story about a genetically engineered doggie named (Einstein) who brings a guy and a girl together, (not as sappy as it sounds) Watchers is good. Or if you like dark ironic humor, TickTock is good, its all cool cuz it has a monster and the ending is hilarious. Velocity is another good one if you like murder stuff.
OH!!! if you like suspense, Icebound is a good book.
All those books besides The Sphere and The Andromeda Strain, are written by Dean Koontz
