    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.

    Seeing your list there, you might enjoy The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchet.

    Another one that is really excellent and off the beaten path: Midnight in The Garden of Good And Evil by John Berendt.

    And here's something different - Dean Koontz, of whom I'm not normally a fan, wrote two absolutely fantastic books. I guarantee you'll be riveted and surprised:

    Odd Thomas and

    Life Expectancy

    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.
