That was a much better way to word my quesion Craig. Thank you for handling that maturely unlike Tashmere Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 04:35:38 AM
a certain Snape Lover who shall go unnamed (mainly because everyone knows who I am talking about) :D

I think that I have American Gods in my stack of books to read. I did read Clarke's book. I haven't heard of the others. I will have to watch for them now.

As for books that "touched" me - well, that would be a very specific criterion, by my definition. I'm not really quite sure how I would go about answering that.

But, perhaps it would help to tell you some books that I never seem to tire of reading? If so, I've got a bit of a list I could give you...

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Blankets by Craig Thompson
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
