NAMELESS by Sam Starbuck (yes, that's right-
copperbadge /
sam_storyteller !)
I read this ~ages ago (last summer, I think), because I was desperate for reading matter, I love Sam's work and it was-even better-free. I enjoyed it so much I instantly emailed copies/linked all my friends to it.
It's m/m, but it's mostly about people and the journeys they go on. Here's the official summary:
Christopher, the only bookseller in the small farm town of Low Ferry, lives an uneventful life -- until one day he encounters a shy newcomer named Lucas, and accidentally sells him the wrong book. What follows is a journey for both men, in vastly different ways, set against the strange, ritualistic, magic backdrop of a midwestern winter. A tale about the masks people wear and a meditation on the power of magic, Nameless revels in the simple pleasure of storytelling.
PS: The paperback is on my birthday/Christmas list. :)
