I just finished this book and it is very good, definately worth picking up!

As far as my top 5, they'd probably be something like this:

1. Christopher.. Paolini (sp?) - Eragon
2. Larry McMurtry - Lonesome Dove
3. Tim Winton - Dirt Music
4. Michael Ondaatie - The English Patient
5. Dean Koontz - The Husband

of course once I finish the book I'm reading now I'll probably not be in the mood for any from my top 5, but oh well. . . I'll read 'em eventually!
 
Here are my top 5 (although the list is highly subject to change):

The Farseekers by Isobelle Carmody
The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay
