Alternately, I've become a big fan of Gene Wolfe, although I have absolutely no clear idea if you'd like him. His short story collections (Storeys from the Old Hotel, Innocents Aboard) and his big epic saga ("The Solar Cycle" - start with Shadow of the Torturer) are radically different; you might favor the short stories.
Most interesting nonfiction I've read in a while was Who Killed Chaucer?, edited-more-than-written-by Terry Jones. It's highly speculative, and like so much of its type is a hundred times better at raising interesting questions than answering them, but insists on trying anyway. But it's a fascinating glimpse of an interesting period, and of our misconceptions of that period.
