Whatcha reading at the moment? Would you recommend it to others?
After taking a break to read 42 volumes of Dragon Ball I've gone back to The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales, an anthology edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. I've read less than half of its contents, but so far I've been more disappointed than pleased. Hopefully the quality will pick up...

Date: 2009-09-29 08:32 am (UTC)If you like short stories, first recommendations off the top of my head would be The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories by Susanna Clarke and Sandman: Book of Dreams, a collection of prose short stories based on Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics (not by Gaiman, and I think they stand on their own without knowing too much about the comics). They are both brain-breakingly awesome. I also like Gaiman's short stories (Fragile Things and Smoke and Mirrors better than his novels; and of his novels my favourite is the delightful Anansi Boys. I also liked Kissing the Witch by Donoghue (short stories again), but for that you need a high tolerance for Message.
