You can (partially) thank my sister for the Dresden Files, she's the editor who picked up the series. She convinced Butcher to rename it to the Dresden Files, too...he originally called them the Dresden Chronicles. Of course, my sister has nothing to show for their incredible success....
I just read Farenheit 451, somehow I avoided having to read it in school...it was excellent. I also read "Flash Forward" which was the book that inspired the TV series. It is completely and totally different from the show. I liked it for the most part, not the best of writing ever but it was interesting.
Ive actually been devouring every graphic novel from my library I can get my hands on. "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" by Alan Moore has been great, definitely check out the Walking Dead series if you like the zombie genre (Frank Darabont is writing/directing a TV adaptation).
If you are liking Gaiman, get the stuff he was famous for: "The Sandman" graphic novel series.
And of course, if you have not read George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series you are doing yourself an extreme diservice. It's the best fantasy series ever written and yes, I will even blaspheme and say it's better than Lord of the Rings.
