Macroscope. Piers Anthoney.
Still well ahead of all other SciFi Fantasy, including his own. Ironic thing is that I can see some of his ideas being developed now!!.

Anything by Stuart MacBride. I "discovered" him 2 years ago and he's the funniest crime writer out there. I'd recommend any of his three books. I finished his latest and was craving for more. Just brilliant.

I really love loads of different books (all for different reasons) but the one I always enjoy reading again and again is Magician by Raymond E. Feist
