Book rec time!

[penmage]

All right, people, I want book recs. I'm looking for good things to read over the summer.

There are 80-odd people who read this journal, and most of you read a lot. I want at least one rec (though feel free to give me more) from each of you.

I'm looking for something I've never read before. It doesn't have to be SF/F - in fact, I think I'd prefer if it wasn't (not that you can't also recommend SF/F.)

Thanks to y'all in advance.

Yep, I have read the whole thing. I cheated and just cut and pasted the title-author list I did of one of those book memes that was going around earlier. Full text of the two entries on the subject is here and here, if you're interested.

Tigana is possibly my single favourite book of his; I'm finding his later stuff kind of repetitious thematically. Although there were nice bits in The Lions of Al-Rassan. But even repetitious GG Kay is pretty good! Haven't read his poetry; will have to see if I can find it.
