best seller
Jonathon Strange and Mister Norrell by susannah clark..this is a nyt bestseller, and a reasonably well written book, as well as lots of fun, and thick as heck, which helps..i don;t know if it counts a s a blockbuster, but it is def. a bestseller, and still pretty good...
capitalism is not the salvation of humanity, you know
the only thing she ever wrote of any value was "anthem' and that is because it is allegorical story about individuality and written at a sort of "young adult" level, so flaws can be overlooked, and it remains vague enough in the definition...

a star called henry:
first chapter excerpt:
My mother looked up at the stars. There were plenty of them up there. She lifted her hand. It swayed as she chose one. Her finger pointed.

you should read samuel r delaney "stars in my pocket like grains of sand" as soon as you finish with "the left hand of darkness"

also try the screwtape letters and the great divorce...while not exactly fantasy or sci fi, they are...
his dark materials was pretty good...13 is old enough to read whatever you like, in my opinion..when i was 13 i liked tolkien, the amber books,those wretched david eddings books, heinlein
there is a similar passage in john crowley's "little,big" but the protagonist is male...sounds like a bodice ripper to me..what exactly wheere they doing to live forever?
without a doubt
karamazov is the best...the idiot is pretty good as well..personally, i am not so much a fan of c&P..if you are looking for good russians you should read gogol and tolstoy as well

you are missing one of life's few good and true pleasures if you do not read this book. Marquez is amazing, and the central conceit of "of love and other demons" is brilliant
you are really missing something here..your "i will probably never read this book' is dismissive and...
enochian keys are a little obscure, don't you think?..also he is looking for something that "looks the part"
maybe some of the more touristy books on voudon would do, come to think of it
it never ceases to amaze me that the religous right is NOT in an uproar about these books. i liked them, thought the miltonic stuff was a little heavy handed sometimes, but i was amazed by how blasphemous they really are...anyone who thinks they are just directed against the church does not know...
the sadness of sex..short dreamlike vignettes..some of the stories are only one page long,and you can skim around
