I'll second the recommendation for The Baroque Cycle. I've just finished Book 1 & immediately ordered the next 2. Lots of fun, occasionally childish, educational, and a great narrative. Not sure I've seen that combination together too often but it works really well.

A second for William Gibson's Pattern Recognition. Best thing he's written, IMO.

Best recently read non-fiction:

River of shadows, Rebecca Solnit. Fantastic story about Edward Muybridge (everybody's seen his strobe photos of galloping horses etc), the moment in history when everything started speeding up (mid 19th century - think railroads and the telegraph) and the origins of California's entrepreneurial culture.

Goodbye to all that, Robert Graves. An oldie but a goodie. A beautifully written memoir mainly about his experiences in World War I.
