Reading list

Ok, I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks in a month or so and my shelf is bare so I need a shopping list for a big trip to Borders (or possibly Amazon). The only things I can remember that have been recommended to me recently are Light by M. John Harrison and The Scar by China Mieville. So, recommend me stuff. It doesn't have to be genre. It doesn't have to be novels. It does have to be available in paperback in the UK. Stuff by authors I haven't read yet particularly welcome (although most of you probably don't know what I've already read so that's not particularly helpful :) ).

Yeah - that's one of my favourites as well. I even got hold of copies of the poems to help me appreciate it :) I like all of her stuff that I've read (which is most of it except for the most recent 2 or 3) - I just wish they'd refrain from advertising it as "Hotter than Potter" even if it is :)

she has a new book out, THE MERLIN CONSPIRACY, which is a follow-up to DEEP SECRET, so there are two for you.

Yeah, I've got The Merlin Conspiracy to read next (another hefty hardback - not for holidays!) ... but I didn't know it was a sequal...

it's not a sequel, per se -- more like a connection. nick (from DEEP SECRET) is one of the two alternating MERLIN narrators. but otherwise there's nothing in common.
