I really enjoyed The Gun Seller. Is there nothing that man can't do?

I can't imagine you aren't doing so already, but if you haven't read Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, I suggest you do so. The man is a genius. (For the uninitiated, the first book is fairly standard fantasy, but then they just get better and better.) I also love A Wind In Cairo by Judith Tarr - a very special love story.
