Re: looking for fantasy books

Tim Powers and James Blaylock! Both of them (and I group them together because they're good friends and collaborators IRL) write a ton of imaginative, well-written fantasy, often set in our world, and that differs substantially from your typical urban fantasy stuff. And they're both really good, and out there. For instance, Powers' best known work is The Anubis Gates, which is, basically, about time-travel and Egyptian gods and trying to save the whole of history from evil magicians in Regency England. For Blaylock, I like his contemporary stuff the most; he's great for creating this atmosphere of weirdness and strange shit going on in the world that we know. Check them out!

Other authors I strongly recommend: Lois McMaster Bujold if you haven't read her. Patricia McKillip. John Crowley. Dammit, there's someone else but their name is completely slipping my mind. Oh well.
