Koontz, Dean By the Light of the Moon   2002 Fiction 3 Quick read, solid Koontz work.
Gaiman, Neil American Gods   2001 Fantasy 4 Some quirky passages (kinda like an unedited :The Stand :) but very thought provoking.  Shadow was too cool!
Gaiman, Neil Neverwhere     Fantasy 4 Great book, wish there was more of it :)  Glimpses into a "fantastical" alternate world!
Tadeusz Borowski This Way for the Gas, Ladies and...         Deals with his time in the concentration camps.  This guy is a powerful writer, but this book is not for the faint of heart.  Remember that it was written by a man who later committed suicide.  It is worth reading to understand the period, but I am not sure we are better for having read it - does that make sense??  Very disheartening book.
Charles de Lint The Onion Girl cover 2001     My first taste of his writing.  I wish that I had realized this was so far along before I started.  Very intriguing universe he has created. Even without reading the previous books, the characters are well fleshed - sometimes painfully so.
