If you're looking for something different, I highly recommend **Perdido Street Station** by China Miéville. It's one of the most unique and strangely fascinating books I've ever read. Here's a little snippet from the Editorial Review at Amazon:"It's Dickensian in scope, but fast-paced and modern. It's a love song for cities, and it packs a world into its strange, sprawling, steam-punky city of New Crobuzon. It can be read with equal validity as fantasy, science fiction, horror, or slipstream. It's got love, loss, crime, sex, riots, mad scientists, drugs, art, corruption, demons, dreams, obsession, magic, aliens, subversion, torture, dirigibles, romantic outlaws, artificial intelligence, and dangerous cults."

Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free." - Steppenwolf
