aka Dashling’s “WANT” post in case you know me irl and are sitting there thinking of useful gifts and stuff. Heh. Yeah. (shush, I’m making your job easier.)

Caution: “I know, right” is the only way one may describe my choices. I mean, I’m often out for cheap thrills, k? Not always, but very often.

Books:

• anything Stephen Fry (except: The Liar, The Hippopotamus, Mob is my Washpot, The Fry Chronicles and Making History.)
• anything Kurt Vonnegut (except: Slaughterhouse 5, Breakfast of Champions, Galapagos)
• anything Neil Gaiman (except: American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens)
• Catherine Fisher, Incarceron
• Catherine M. Valente, Deathless
• Guillermo del Toro, The Night Eternal
• anything Joe Abercrombie (never tried. apparently must. *shrug*)
• Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex
• Toby Barlow, Sharp Teeth
• John Crowley, Little, Big
  
• anything Evelyn Waugh (except: Handful of Dust, Brideshead Revisited, Vile Bodies)
• whatever poetry you find suitable, because I’m ignorant poetry-wise
• if something has a circus and a murder, or magic, or magic in urban (or preferably vintage) environment - I’m fine with that.
• noiry things. I hardly ever read anything noir(y) (do …Yiddish Policemen count?) so educate me
• historical beginning-of-the-century-gangster-related-things

the list is to be updated as I get more delusional. and greedy. the sky is the limit.
