JONATHON STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL - Similar books???

So I have two or three chapters left of that fabulous novel and I'm wondering what else is similar?

I know Susanna Clarke has another book that's a collection of short stories relating to Jonathon Strange and M.N. characters but what are books by different authors that are sorta similar? Fantasy preferably.

I've read Picture of Dorian Gray and I find them very similar at points. Same with Harry Potter and some Tolkien stuff.

Ooh! I didn't know Stardust was a book before it was a movie. I really liked that film.

I don't know if anything could possibly be on the same scale as JS and MN. I don't know how Susanna Clarke wrote such an amazing book. It must have taken years!

in fact, to own the truth, there is nothing quite like it, least nothing i have ever been shewn.

edit: i never read the ladies of grace adieu. is it any good?

apparently the dangerous liaisons guy is adapting js and mn for a film
