Thanks for all the kind suggestions! *NM* Sidious Send a noteboard - 21/06/2010 05:56:37 PM

I finished Magician recently, and I'm looking for something else to read. Instead of raiding the book store and looking for something, I thought I'd ask which books you consider to be spectacular.

I'm not looking for a book that has any particular outstanding single characteristic such as a contrived plot, deep philosophy or detailed world-building. I'm looking for a book that destroyed your life for the time that you read it - because you couldn't put it down, and afterwards you put it down and went 'wow'.

Thanks!

It's that good? I have it on my shelf here but haven't read it. *NM* - 21/06/2010 05:13:55 PM 329 Views
Let's just say it makes an impact. - 21/06/2010 06:22:10 PM 730 Views

I enjoyed it. The absurdism--not all that unlike Vonnegut in many instances--made for a lot of fun. - 22/06/2010 02:50:49 AM 774 Views
