~looks at shelf~
Well, it's safe to say that anything that gives an adrenaline rush suits my fancy, but there are some favs I have:
The Anita Blake Series,(Laruell K. Hamilton)
From start to finish... Blood, death, sex, and some of the sexiest men in litterature... yes, it's every Catholic High School girl's wish ~laughs~. I will admit though that Obsidian Butterfly is my favorite, without at doubt. Maybe because I'm Edward's number one fan girl, or maybe just because I have more violent tendancies at times... or maybe it's a break from sexsexsexsex (Adam will back me up on that one)... but any are notable. I've yet to start on the Fae series she has out, but a trusty friend as said they are just as tasty
Alice in Wonderland:
Was obsessed with this in younger years... maybe that's where my oddness stemmed from... hmm...
Gormenghast (Mervyn Peake):
Adam got me started on this one.. and it's really not so much the entire trilogy as it is the second book (although the first is needed to help you understand the mental schemes of Steerpike, the main villian and my hero). I won't lie to you though, there are parts where I needed a dictonary, and parts where it seemed like nothing was happening and yet tons of things were. *shrugs* I don't know. I like it.
His Dark Materials Trilogy, Phillip Pullman:
Beginning with the Golden Compas, continuing with The Subtle Knife, and ending with The Amber Spyglass, this as a surprisingly captivating series. Yes, I admit it, it's listed as a young adult reader's book, but it does offer some food for thought at times, and the story work is creative. Rereading them now, and it still holds my attention completely.
Patricia A. McKillip:
If you're into poetic type readings, with alot of symbolism and allusions, then this is a superb author to look up. Some of my favorites are Ombria in Shadow, The Alphabet of Thorn, and Song for the Basilisk. Her writing style certainly brings the magic to life, and more often than not I'm left in a daze whenever I'm in the middle of one of her stories but find myself occupied with a task other than reading. Rereading them is also just as interesting, you pick up more of the little forshadowing hints she leaves as crumbs for those paying attention...
