This is so great! I have to admit my bias for (usually) dead British writers, lol, so I'm not familiar with most of the books on this list. Your descriptions sound very interesting. I may pick up a few of these titles.
They're making Stardust into a movie? That's so exciting! I can't wait. Although, i did try to watch Mirrormask, and got a little lost. maybe I wasn't in the right mood. With the cast you mentioned, it sounds like it'll be pretty high profile, and easy to catch in a theater.
I loved what the BBC did with Neverwhere. They stayed true to the book, and didn't turn it into a love story, which is one of the things that, after I'd read it, I found remarkable about the novel. It was impressive to me that Gaiman can keep a reader interested, and imply so much UST, and then not follow through. lol
i've been considering drawing up a list of books I want to read in 2007. I think one or two of these will go on it. (although, between textbooks and fic, don't know if I'll get through too many of them).
