I loved Curious Incident!
If you liked Heartbreaking Work you should read You Shall Know Our Velocity! by the same author. I'm reading it now and I love it.
Perhaps Ridley Walker would interest you. I forget who wrote it.

I'd very much reccomend the work of Dan Brown - particularly Angels and Demons - it's a little like Clive Cussler if you've read any of him... I absolutely loved it. He was also the author of the DaVinci Code, but I liked this far better :)

Each one of your books is about human experience. I would recommend Myths to live BY by Joseph Campbell. Heavy read but very thought provoking.
