I liked "American Gods" a lot, but I originally read it, and "Neverwhere" because I liked "Good Omens" so much, and that I read because I'm a huge Pratchett fan. I'm not sure I like Gaiman's writing as much as Pratchett's, it's maybe not quite my cup of tea, but Gaiman gets huge points in my book for being generally very cool. He's okay with fanfiction, and puts queer characters in his stories.
