ALRIGHT FOLKS I realize I should post this on my OOC journal, and I likely will, but this one has. More people readin' it. In a way. Ergo I NEED YOUR HELP.

NAME FOR ME A MINIMUM OF TWO (2) OF YOUR PERSONAL ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MUST-READ BOOKS. Any genre, any time period, any author, whatever.

I need books, guys. :'(

Banewreaker and its sequel Godslayer by Jacqueline Carey. Absolutely beautiful dark fantasy.

Bridge of Birds, by Barry Hughart, and its sequels Story of the Stone and Eight Skilled Gentlemen. Hilarious and awesome stories.

I will think of more later, no doubt, but those are the top of my absolute must-read list.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, Gaston Leroux.

Read it or so help me I will cut you. Through the mail. >|

THE THINGS THEY CARRIED, Tim O'Brien.

The writing style, she calls to me.

DRACULA, Bram Stoker.

... I can give you a play-by-play as to how staking a vampire is a phallic and orgasmic event. /o/

THROUGH VIOLET EYES, Stephen Woodworth

Because it's Kind of Cool

KUSHIEL series, Jacqueline Carey

You never knew sex was going to be this complicated or hot.

Second KUSHIEL, especially the second trilogy.

IT'S GOOD. I think Imri's a better perspective character than Phedre was.

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. :)

And A Separate Peace, by... I don't remember.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, by Tom Stoppard.

Invisible Monsters - Chuck Palahniuk
Hey, Nostradamus - Douglas Coupland
Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

ANYTHING BY CHARLES DE LINT T_T I suggest The Onion Girl, Forests of the Heart or Mulengro for first novels! But his short stories are awesome too.

Orphans of Chaos uhmm, John Wright I think. THIS IS A CHECK OUT not a buy, imo. But it's terribly interesting.

Yeah I lose /o/

YES READ CHARLES DE LINT
