I don't know how you feel about fantasy and magic, but Charles de Lint is quickly becoming a favourite author of mine. He writes fantasy fiction, but it takes place (mostly) in This World, and not in some medieval/renaissance world with candles and horses. The book I'm currently reading (Spirits in the Wires) uses the Internet as a plot device. It's really interesting stuff, and he has an amazing cast of characters. It's fantasy and magic without feeling like high fantasy and magic. (on the plus side too, I'm finding REALLY interesting quotes in this book that can be used as chapter breaks in my thesis so I can argue that I'm DOING WORK! while reading for fun ;))
