Thanks Arsheesh! There are a couple on your list that I'd always meant to pick up but never seem to remember to.

Neverwhere is actually one I had put on the maybe list before I posted, along with the first of Butcher's Dresden books. Earthsea I've read, but it was lmany many moons ago, so perhaps I should revisit it. I'll put that one by Banks on the pick it up if I see it at the bookstore list.

I knew I'd come to the right place Keep em coming!
