Re: Good books

Let's see if I can try not to go on too long here.

For fantasy I love Steven Brust, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Lois McMaster Bujold. I love old mysteries, especially hardboiled detective stories like the ones by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, and Dorothy Sayers is great too.

If you like things that are a bit odd (I do) one of my favorite books is If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino. Half of it is in second person about you trying to track down a book and the other half is excerpts of other books you come across along the way. I also love Kobo Abe, a Japanese writer who's done some strange things. The Face of Another is one of my favorites of his.

Some other writers that come to mind (lumped together because I tried trying to keep classifying and got tired of asking "is this person more sci-fi or fantasy?" and that sort of thing): Daphne du Maurier, Angela Carter, Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler, Amelie Nothomb, Stanislaw Lem, Patricia Highsmith, Shirley Jackson, Murial Spark
