It's the story of one man, who survives against all odds in a battle with the oppressive church of the land, and an ancient race that holds the secret of that religion. Quite cool, and if there's a sequel I don't know how it was managed. It's not a book that needs a sequel.'Perdido Street Station' and 'The Scar', by China Mieville. They're set in the same world, they share a very tenuous link, but the link is not necessary to enjoy the books. It might be interesting to read The Scar first, actually, as it doesn't really give anything away, and there's a nostalgia element that readers of PSS might scoff at. Haven't read 'The Iron Council' yet, so I don't know if it feeds off the plots in the 'first' two.'The Redemption Of Athelas', by David and Leigh Eddings. Not the fourteenth book about Belgarion, for a change. Quite definitely a stand-alone, and as I read Eddings for the characterisation, it entertained me valiantly.Terry Pratchett... some of his work, at least. Probably best to steer clear without an expert navigator.'The Hunting Of The Snark', Lewis Carroll. Very short, but very full of meaning, imaginary or otherwise, and it's hard to find something more densely imaginative. I recommend an annotated version with the original illustrations. Plus there's a musical on CD, which is cool.'Gulliver's Travels'. An Important Book, even today.'The Hobbit'. The foundation of modern fantasy, even moreso than LotR.</blockquote>
