What are your book suggestions? What's your favorite book. What's funny and witty and well written?

Novik) and Jonathan Strange (S. Clarke)

Status: offline 		Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite.  I can't say what it's about because it goes WAY against the TOS here, but it's well-written nonetheless.  Also, anything in the "Dark" series by Christine Feehan.  D/s vampire themes in most of the books.

That was one of the most disturbing books I ever read, but I couldn't put it down.  She's a wonderful author.

I'm a fan of A.S.Byatt.  If you can, get hold of a copy of "Little Black Book of Stories". Every story in this collection of five is better than the one before.
