Stardust and Coraline are my two favorite Neil Gaiman books. But you'd probably really enjoy the Sandman series, too.
And I know you've heard this, but I think you should dabble in some Tom Robbins, and I'd recommend Jitterbug Perfume as his best and most "you."
I'd also strongly recommend Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis & Derick Robinson, though frighteningly, much of that horrific "future" is already coming true, so it's getting dated. I mean, when you point out that the emperor has no clothes, it's supposed to do him in, but that doesn't happen anymore, so when Spider brings down the powerful with his pen, you kinda doubt it could happen these days. But the future described is quite fascinating regardless.
