The discworkd series

William Gibson's books

Neal Stephenson's books (except Anathem, too looong)

Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud

Dan Simmons books

The Atrocity archives by Charles Stross (just discovered this one, a must read!)

The master and Margarita

Kunderna (the old ones)

Umberto Eco (especially Baudolino)

So basically sci-fi or fantasy in a plausible heavy setting I guess :-D

Edit: forgot the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy OFC!

My mind got jogged so I'll add Catch 22 by Joseph Heller to the list too. IMO definitely a good read if you liked the HHGTTG.

The Master and the... MARGARITA??

Edit: Bought.
