Can we do that thing where you give me a subject and I list TOP 5? Please? Because I'm bored, and needs should definitely be met. As long as it doesn't require ointments the next day.

Yep. Those are the ones on my shelf. And, Lee at her best is extraordinary. If you only read one book she's written, it should by Night's Master because I don't think she's ever been better, though arguably, she has often been just as good.

And while I haven't gotten into a lot of Martin's work, the Game of Thrones hooked me, my spouse and our child on the series.

In the sciene fiction/fantasy genres, have you ever read Roger Zelazny? What about Glen Cook?

In Historical Romance, have you read Roberta Gellis and as you are a Jane Austen fan, have you read Georgette Heyer?

So many books, so little time...

Thank you so much for all the recs. No, I haven't read any of the authors you mention--I've been turned of of sci fi/fantasy for quite a while, as it began to seem like there was nothing good left to read. I think I just got lazy in my hunt for good authors, so I'll definitely check out your recs.

On the historical front, I have been meaning to read Georgette Heyer . . . and I'll check out Gellis. Thanks again!
