I finished Neverwhere and now I'm lonely for a good book.

Any recommendations?

i'll try to be diverse.

a) some fantasy: george r r martins "song of ice and fire" series--crazy good, i think i read them all in a month, i was so addicted, its got everything.

Jacqueline Carey's "kushiel" series. however, do not read the last one, its sucks.

Susanna Clarke's "Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel
a wonderful story.

b) some comtemporary fiction

anything by Jeanette Winterson she is a Master of words and rhetoric, her metaphors and imagery are like nothign i've ever read before. top notch.

Jose Saramago's "blindness" a scary story about what could very well happen if the world went blind. its all too easy to revert to savagery..

Zafon's "Shadow of the Wind" a beautifully written mystery sent in Spain. a mystery and a love story. its not even about the story, its about the way Zafon writes, its hypnotizing.

c) some classics, mayhaps?

Dumas' "the three musketeers" if you want some adventure, drunk swashbuckling and amazing wit, look no further.

any Sherlock Holmes who doesnt like a cocky, arrogant brillant
