@gemiwing I like Neverwhere! Neil Gaiman has great dry humor and a dark, quirky sensibility.
@Christian95 “Well I don’t have a very clear idea but I think I’d like an unpredictable fantasy book with an unusual point of view of the author.” You’ll probably like the Great Book of Amber. Amazon.com says “Roger Zelazny’s books have three things in common: a flawed hero who sometimes fails, endlessly surprising plot twists, and a blend of lyricism, literary allusions, and sly puns that makes the pages fly.”
Anyway, the setting for the series is pretty inventive. It’s a combination of the modern world, some swords and sorcery type fantasy, and things you’d see on an acid trip. The series is a doorstop (you said you wanted to be busy for a while) divided into halves about a father and son. The tone and the narrative voice is modern, not Ye Olde Fantasy. The father, Corwin, reminds me of a tough and cynical film noir detective. His son, Merlin, is a computer programmer who has a dry and snarky wit. The book has a high Holy Shit Quotient. Every time you think the mystery is solved, there’s another, deeper mystery behind it, or a sudden plot twist- the plotting keeps up a brisk pace. And there’s so much secrecy, plotting, and backstabbing going around that you never know who to trust. All the magic in the series is treated as technology- Zelazny explains it logically and sets out consistent rules instead of handwaving everything. That’s cool too.
