Ah, Audrey Niffenegger... I absolutely loved 'The Time Traveller's Wife', although I never picked up any of her other work afterwards. Ursula Le Guin is another one who's been on my radar for a while, being a big fantasy fan. Quite a few of these may become part of my current reading list sooner rather than later!
