| happydolphin said: great suggestions. all of you. To those asking, I wouldn't mind either of fiction or non-fiction, mostly classics, with whit and a good light-hearted plot, something that uses whitty metaphores and expressions. As much as possible short, and with few segments that are drawn out. |
Definitely read the Baritmaeus trilogy then, I don't think I've met anyone that actually has, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly as a fictional story. It's set in London where the Magicians are in control and us - the people who do not have the power to summon entities from the "Other Place" are known as the commoners and have to go about doing our mundane lifes. The trilogy follows the story of a semi-powerful demon who is in turn summoned by a very young magician apprentice, who then develops into one of the main characters. The third book is my favourite by far, but the first was nice and refreshing too. It offers first person documentary of the demon, and the 3rd person of the young magician boy - as well as some other characters in the story :p. I think they go in this order - Amulet of Samarkand, Golem's Eye and Ptolemy's Gate
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
