The author's writing style is not much like anyone else's. A love story, a story set around the year 1900 (the first part of the novel, anyway). Examines the personality of several of the characters. Really a lot of fun.

A fun fantasy novel in its own right, but also what the Harry Potter stories would have been if they had been written as novels for adults. Deals with a number of difficult issues of adult life.

A fascinating novel for those who like alternative-history. In the hard-boiled detective style. Much of the language seems to be word-for-word translation of Yiddish idioms.

It's beautiful (and the piano music's nice). I usually enjoy time-lapse nature photography, particularly of the stars rising or falling.

I loved these books when I was a kid. And I usually enjoy Ghibli's rendition of anything.

The rules are simple, but it's challenging--that's why it's fun (and the music's pretty).
