You might not want to bother with Coraline; I've heard Stardust is better, but I haven't read it yet. I liked Neverwhere, but not as much as American Gods.
No, the only Pratchett I've read was Good Omens. A terrible thing happened to me in grad school, which the older, wiser inmates predicted but I didn't see coming: I nearly stopped reading for fun. After spending all day reading medieval literature, history, historiography, literary analysis--novels are different, but not quite different enough. I still tend to do little novel-reading during term and most on breaks and while traveling.
I'll have to look for those books you named--after I finally finish Love in the Time of Cholera, The Parable of the Sower (which I haven't started yet), and a certain novel now sitting on my computer; I understand there's some time travel involved in that one....
