HumanTupperware here: 

I have to reply here too, even though I don't tend to read many fantsy/sf 
books.......

I strongly reiterate that Perfume by Patrick Suskind is an absolute winner...

If you enjoyed Perfume, another writer with similar style is Jeanette Winterson, 
most notably "The Passion", but all her books are fantastic.

The others in my top list are:

Captain Correlli's Mandolin" by Louis de bernieres (please ignore the terrible 
movie version)  all his other books are great too...

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is still my all time favorite

"Skinny Legs and All" and "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins are 
fantastic, funny and multi layered books, but possibly not for those of a 
Christian perspective.........

If you are into art and mystery, Nick Bantock's illustrated books for adults are 
wonderful, most notably the "Griffin and Sabine" trilogies, and "The Museum 
at Pergatory" 

Also, those who are still finding it hard to read something whilst waiting for the 
new Harry to come out might want to give the "sandman" comics by Neil 
Gaiman a try, his world is equally rich and complex in mythology and the 
psyche.....

there's my little contibution.....
cheers,
