I am deprived of fiction. That does not mean that I have not spent the last week or so rereading Harry Potter in light of 'racialisation, ethnicisation and national consciousness' but that somehow any academic reading of fiction does not allow it to be fiction.
On my shelf sits a few books kindly lent a certain Sorceror, but somehow the length of American Gods, Perdido Street Station and Jonathon Norrell and Mr Strange is off-putting; not that length has ever been a problem, just that it's not easy to lug a book of those proportions around London. There is also the matter of 8000 words (now 6800!) which need to be written. Hmph.
Suggestions of decent fiction are welcome. In fact they are appreciated. Please.

Umm well this would be along the lines of Harry Potter but "Heart of Gold" and "Blaze of Glory" by Michael Pryor, the Laws of Magic series - of which I think BoG is book 1 - is pretty good. Still waiting for book 3. It's in the kids section but then again so is HP and its like book 3 of HP size..
ReplyDeleteWhat else.. well all the rave here is with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer..
If you want something more deep then maybe.. I don't know.. :P lately I've been occupied with kids books mostly ^^
Good luck!! :)
