I'll read most anything, save trashy romance/mystery.

:shuriken:

LK Hamilton - Incubus dreams.
It's never been literature, but she's managed to reach new lows.
The whole series should be renamed "Let's see how many cawks I can get in one character at the same time". :dry:

It's unfortunate, because the initial books in the series were actually enjoyable. Then it turned into a purple-prose fest.

:shuriken:

In search of the miraculous - Oespensky...try it Magic ...

or one of Gurdjieff books..always a little difficult to get into but well worth the effort

Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson another brilliant literary work ...

Right now I'm reading Eldest, the sequal to Eragon. Soon I will also start readin One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest which I've heard great things about. I'm loving Eldest and can't wait to start on cookoo's nest.

The LOTR books.

You've mentioned before that you're an avid reader so you've possibly read things by these 2 authors, but i'd highly recommend Tom Sharpe and Ian Banks. If you want a more obscure author who i enjoyed, but might not be to everyones taste then i'd suggest books by Jeff Noon.

Tom Sharpe: very funny 'slice of life' style books where everyday events seem to conspire to ruin certain peoples lives. My favourites were 'The throwback', 'Wilt', 'Wilt alternative' and 'Blott on the landscape'

Ian Banks: most famous for his sci-fi, which is generally very good, but some of his other books are better imo, in particular 'The crow road'.

Jeff Noon: bizarre stories and sometimes bizarre writing style, but i found them captivating. Not really sci-fi or fantasy, but some weird mix of both. Wikipedia article suggests his writing would fall in a similar genre as Lewis Carrol's work and I've seen his books described elsewhere as technopunk if that helps at all.... I'd suggest 'Vurt' as a starting point.

A History of the World in 10½ Chapters by Julian Barnes
