Lem is truly one of the most underrated SF authors.

I have read half of Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series. The protagonist reminds me of myself as a child/young adult, and I really admire the depth of Pratchett's female characters. He actually writes femininity the way I experience it: not an obstacle to doing anything, but present and possibly important. Sometimes.

The Department of Useless Things by Yuri Dombrovski (a novel in two parts). Alma-Ata, just before WWII... I'd say it combines a detective story (a bit), a love story (a smaller bit), and a story. Also, try his Three novellas about Shakespeare.
