Anne
S.:
- "The Phantom
Tollbooth"
by Norman Juster
This makes the list for sheer inventiveness and inspired wordplay.
- "Pilgrim
at Tinker Creek" by Annie Dillard
("Teaching a Stone to Talk" is also very good) She has a gorgeous,
seamless writing style. She also has the ability to infect the reader
with her own awe and wonder at the natural world as she ponders "what
it all means."
- "The Hamlet
Syndrome: Overthinkers Who Underachieve"
by Adrienne Miller and Andrew Goldblatt
T he subtitle pretty much says it all. :) A book that examines smart
misfits as the real multi-faceted people they are rather than as losers,
weirdos, or loners.
- "A Fine
and Private Place"
by Peter S. Beagle
("The Last Unicorn" also recommended) A gentle, compassionate
book about a man who lives in a cemetary mausoleum and the ghosts who
are his only friends.
- "Black
Water: The Book of Fantastic Literature"
edited by Alberto Manguel
Quite simply the best collection of short fantasy I think I've ever
read. Much of it is the "normal world going out of sync" type of fantasy
- my favorite kind. The book is international in scope.
- "Time
and Again" by Jack Finney
The most believable time travel mechanism I've ever read about in a
sci-fi novel. The in-depth descriptions of turn of the century New York
add depth to the book, as do the wonderful characterizations.
- "Neverwhere"
by Neil Gaiman
One of those 'couldn't put it down' books. A pure flight of fancy. The
nasty villains are very cool, and extremely funny.
