(more inside) So I would love some recommendations that are very similar in style/setting/characters to the following:<br> <ul><br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006051518X/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Anansi Boys</a> by Neil Gaiman<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385721676/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Oryx and Crake </a>by Margaret Atwood<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400043395/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Never Let Me Go</a> by Kazuo Ishiguro<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1573222496/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">The Book of Flying</a> by Keith Miller<br> </ul><br> I should also mention that we read Wicked and GUT Symmetries and I HATED them both. Oryx and Crake and Anansi Boys were my absolute favorites.<br> <br> What has come out recently that would capture my imagination the way that these books have? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.45689 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 20:10:06 -0800 anansiboys fantasy oryxandcrake recentscifi speculativefiction Slimemonster
