Can I point something out? In my last post, I said, reccomend a book. To me, that indicates singular.
I know y'all love to read like I do, but there's no way in hell I can read a list that long. Even reading nice and quick. Please pick one. If someone else reccomends one you thought of, feel free to recc a different one, and/or give me more reasons to read the first one.
I love you guys, but that's a very very overwhelming list. Especially since few of you included things like, reasons I should read them, or synopses.
It's okay if you don't have a copy to lend out. That's what Powell's is for. If I can't find one used, then I might bug you. :^)

It's been a while, but I still remember that throwing me off.

I also recommend Charles De Lint, both his novels and short stories. Axiom's suggestions are good places to start. His books are mostly urban fantasy set in Canada. Lots of art, music, and magic. He has some great characters. He write a lot about artists and/or people at the fringe of society, such as street people. His works are both light and dark at the same time, somehow.
