Hmmm. I've run out of reading list again, so what would you guys recommend? In other news, who would have thought that a body could produce this much goo.

Read any Russell Hoban yet?

Nope - recommend one?

One? Oh dear. Umm.
If you're a person who'd prefer to start at the beginning, his first adult novel The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz is pretty good and establishes some of his running themes. Otherwise, favourites would be:
Kleinzeit, a thoroughly readable little story about love, heroism, London, hospitals and poetry addiction.
Riddley Walker, a once-fashionable, post-apocalyptic fairytale featuring much mythologisation and fernetick spelin.

Hmm. The Light Ages, possibly. I'll bring it this evening for you to look at.

(If I lend you enough things, eventually I'm bound to pick something you'll really like. :)
