I am not quite done with it yet, but I am currently reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, and I am enjoying it tremendously. It's her first novel, and it won the Hugo Award, which should tell you something about its quality. (The Hugo is awarded for best sci-fi or fantasy novel).
Give it a try, as I find it very engaging. I don't normally read fantasy, but it really isn't heavy on the fantasy. It deals with magic, and it's a fun read.

"The Mist in the Mirror" by Susan Hill. I also enjoy any novel by the English author Robert Goddard.

City of Tiny Lights by Patrick Neate. It takes place in London, but the main character is Indian so it gives the story a different twist.

I just finished Lisey's Story, although I won't comment on Parts 2 and 3 until there are the proper threads. But I have to just have to say that I couldn't stop reading it - so totally unexpected and absolutely compelling!!

Of Mice and Men, although I read it last year of my own free will. I was pretty excited when I found out we'd be reading it.
