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.

Well, like I said Anansi Boys is good...

Das list:

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
"The Diamond Age, or: a Young Ladies Illustrated Primer" - Neal Stephenson
Villains By Nescessity (don't remember the author's name offhand)
Neuromancer, Count Zero and MonaLisa Overdrive - all by William Gibson (they're Cyberpunk though, so I'm not sure you'll like 'em)
War for the Oaks - Emma Bull

I'm sure I could come up with more. =)

I'll give Mona Lisa Overdrive a jumping up and down second. I haven't read that in ages, must remember to do that.
