You are in for a treat, as long as the book isn't King Rat, because Perdido Street Station and The Scar are amazing. Some of the best fantasy I've ever read, and I can't believe I forgot to mention him when I wrote my list.

And speaking of said list . . .

PS Lucifer, what's Le Guin's Stranger in a Strange Land about? I've read Heinlein's, but I didn't know she wrote a book by the same name.[quote]

It is about me being an easter egg.

I have officially stuck my cloven hoof in my fanged mouth, because I meant Le Guin's "The Left Hand of Darkness". I will point out that I was rushing to post before I dashed off to work, but it's a lame excuse at best. My apologies to Heinlin and Le Guin, as well as to you for the mislead.

Uh . . . Charles de Lint is pretty great too.
