lkh_lashoutsOkay, this is more of a book pimping, since Suzannah Clarke has only written one so far. But it's one you should all read!
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is based in an alternate early 19th Century. Magic works, but there are only two true magicians (the title characters). She took a decade to write it, and the care and time she took shows, yet it is easy to read, despite the huge amounts of magnificent description.
It's a hard book to describe, but if you love historical fiction, non-fluffy fairies, and hate Mary Sues, this is the book for you.
