Gaiman is a good author and if you like Neverwhere (which I think is his weakest of novels) I'd suggest you try out the Sandman comic books. From Preludes & Nocturnes to The Wake, there are few better stories around.

Stop reading. He dies. Not the main character, but the author. He made up to book 12 of 13!!

Personally I've been enjoring myself with Bernard Cornwells "Last Kingdom" series for a little while. Historical fiction about the rule of King Alfred combined with just plain fun.
