QoaD, pt. 2:

I need to read more. Tell me a book to read. Something you think I really need to read.

Any genre, fiction or non-fiction; but I have a definite taste for fantasy/sci-fi, memoir/autobiography, and anything with really strongly written characters.

I am currently in the middle of:

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Utne's Guide to Salons (I think I have the title right)

but I read fast. So, gimme some more ideas.

Harp of the Grey Rose by Charles De Lint.
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
War for the Oaks by Emma Bull.
Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
War of the Flowers by Tad Williams.

*eyes you with suspicion*

You're raiding my library, aren't you... =P

I love Good Omens, and probably would've suggested it to her, but someone borrowed my copy months ago and still hasn't given it back, and I alway feel vaguely guilty about recommending books I can't let someone borrow.

I just figured you had good taste in books. =P

Already read it. :^)

Borrowed it from [livejournal.com profile] dragon_mintz.

Man. Every time I read Good Omens, I cry. It's not a particularly *sad* book, but it just gets me.
