Shades of Grey is his most incredible work, but if you are looking for something more humorous his Nursery Crime novels are pretty darn good too. ^_^ <br />~ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551365924999294928.post-24404113462758596792011-01-10T18:08:48.279-08:002011-01-10T18:08:48.279-08:00@Erin

I recommend it strongly if you enjoy Gaiman's work. It is simply amazing. <br /><br />Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde--An intriguing post-apocalyptic and strangely upbeat story, complete with a unique twist on color segregation and forbidden romance. <br /><br />Anathem by Neal Stephenson--Heavier than the books above, this is a sci-fi that happens to be my favorite book of all time. <3 Like the Princess Bride, it has pretty much everything you could ever want in a story. <3 <br /><br />So, those are 3 of my favorite books. ^_^ Since someone already recommended Susanna Clarke, I assume you've read Strange and Norrell? (<--that is my fourth favorite). <br /><br />Of course, I don't think we've ever met, and I don't know your genre preferences (though it looks fairly open) so I do expect you'll take this all with a grain of salt. :) Enjoy!<br /><br />-ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551365924999294928.post-78158778338810285032010-12-30T00:39:39.633-08:002010-12-30T00:39:39.633-08:00That I did!

Maybe don't read it in your apartment when you're alone though... you may start to feel like you're going crazy.<br /><br />You need some ladies on that list.
