Top 5 of 2006 - Books

(read, as opposed to released)

1) A Clash of Kings - George RR Martin
As epic as the first, with characters that live and breathe.

2) Dr. Strange & Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
With the utmost of ease, Clarke draws you into her mysterious, beautifully realised world. Magic in every sense of the word.

3) Liquor - Poppy Z Brite
Her characters practically leap off the page, and the food will have your mouth watering.

4) Deception Point - Dan Brown
A guilty little pleasure, trashy pulp at its best.

5) The Gardens of the Moon - Steven Erickson
Damn tough to get into, but ultimately very rewarding.
