The light and the heavy: The Light: The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. I liked this book , its funny and has some cute ideas. IMO a good first effort. Plus it comes with and online upgrade option http://www.jasperfforde.com/upgradegc.html NOTE: this site ( and the associated ones ) is Spoiler ridden. The Heavy: Perdido Street Station by China Mieville This was also a good book, kind of slow to start with but picks up about a third of the way through. Andrew.
