I just remembered I *have* read something really good lately-ish that I haven't pushed excessively on people. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I'd tell you about it, but wouldn't do it justice. It's a YA novel that manages to be very dark, and still hopeful, in addition to really really good. I'm reading the sequel (Catching Fire) now - it isn't quite as good, but is still excellent.
Also excellent - the poem My Elf Policy, and the one in the comments it inspired.
Anyone read anything amazing lately? Because clearly my giant stack of reading material isn't big enough...

Date: 2009-11-08 10:07 pm (UTC)Jo Walton's Farthing, something of a murder mystery/political intrigue set in an alternate-history England which negotiated a peace with Germany in the second World Wr, was also good. I've just picked up it's sequel, Ha'penny, and I'm waiting for the 3rd novel, Half a Crown, to come out in paperback, so I can have a matching set.
