I can think of 2 books that should make the trip off the top of my head.

Latro in the Mist by Gene Wolfe
and
Modern Classics of Science Fiction edited by Gardner Dozois.

I'm SO glad you found a copy of Little, Big. I was at the Strand in New York on Saturday and looked for it (that's where I found mine) to no avail. It's one of those books I buy a copy of whenever I spot one. I do so hope you enjoy it. I learned the word "orrery" from that book.

I've been reading the Dark Is Rising books lately. They're easy and (for fantasy) very fast-paced. But perhaps you've already read them.

And I read a graphic novel called Clan Apis that had much to recommend it.

AND I picked up a wonderful no-brainer at the Strand, a new addition to the "Best American [year]" series: Best American Comics 2006. Edited by Harvey Pekar. It's a beautiful book (color inside, even) and I cannot wait to open it.

I was startled at the new look. But only because it was different - the new look is great, I likes it alot. Clean, crisp, good colors, nice texture.

I suggest The Merlin Conspiracy, because you can't go wrong with wizards and dragons (sarcasm mine, but still), Babel 17 because its Sci-Fi, Island of the Day Before because I'd like to read some Eco, and so I'll live vicariously, and Mixed Magic, because its four (4!!) stories in one book!

Even as a big Eco fan I was kind of underwhelmed by "Island". It felt like a long trip to not very much of anywhere.
