Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
Quote:
One man, Richard Cypher, holds the key to the fate of three nations, of humanityBut until he learns the Wizard's First Rule his chances of succeeding in his task are slim. And his biggest problem is admitting that magic exists at all...A novel of incomparable scope and brimming with atmospheric detail: in a world where heart hounds stalk the boundaries for unwary human prey, blood-sucking flies hunt on behalf of their underworld masters, and where artists can draw more than your likeness, there is no place to hide, nowhere safe. Here magic makes love twice as sweet, betrayal and loss twice as bitter.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Quote:
Epic, ambitious and entertaining, "Stranger in a Strange Land" caused controversy and uproar when it was first published. Still topical and challenging today, the story of Valentine Michael Smith, the first man from Mars to visit Earth, is in the great tradition of stories that endure through the power of the author's imagination that stretches from Gulliver's Travels to 1984.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Quote:
n one of the most acclaimed and strange novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now 31, "Never Let Me Go" hauntingly dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School, and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. A story of love, friendship and memory, "Never Let Me Go" is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Quote:
Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged, fastidious college professor. He also likes little girls. And none more so than Lolita, who he'll do anything to possess. Is he in love or insane? A silver-tongued poet or a pervert? A tortured soul or a monster?! Or is he all of these?
Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon
Quote:
The first new novel in a decade from New York Times bestselling horror novelist Robert R. McCammon. The people of Fount Royal, a small Carolina settlement, think there's a witch among them. The citizens are convinced that Rachel Howarth--a beautiful, independent widow of Portuguese descent--has cursed the town. Magistrate Isaac Woodward and Matthew Corbett travel to Fount Royal to hold the witch trial. The evidence spells doom for Rachel: witch's tools are found in her home and witnesses swear they've seen her commit unspeakable acts with the Devil himself. But Matthew's lingering doubts about her guilt lead him to discover that quite a few people would benefit from Rachel's death. Can he save her from a grisly end at the hands of the bloodthirsty citizens of Fount Royal?
