I will ... I'd read The Stolen Child again, but that's too recent to be a "classic" Fantasy work. It's a modern classic I suppose. Does anyone have any recommendations for Adult Literary Fantasy? I really loved The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue, The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Sean Greer & The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I don't find too many recommendations on amazon or elsewhere. Thanks! ... or any other huge series because it says all it needs to say, ending its tale fully formed and within one book.
For me, The Stolen Child fits into this category, as well as the illustrated version of Stardust (though Stardust is in my opinion always going to lose out to Stolen Child ... The Stolen Child by Keith Donahue. Definitely add that one. Back to reading The Stolen Child again. I think after conquering Fight Club it seems more possible for me to continue the massive task of taking on what is proving to be my "Most Favorite Fantasy Book that Isn't a Pratchett or Gaiman Story".
What is fascinating is the way the guy who wrote St ... I decided to reward myself for an English Ext. 1 assessment well done with a trip to Kinokuniya.

Still slogging through Jane Ey ... The Stolen Child is a modified, modernized fairy tale. I think of all fairy tales as a subset of fantasy, so I’ll put it in the fantasy camp. :)
I just read a blurb about The Stolen Child and it sounds very interesting. But I like the idea of waiting for it to come out in paperback. I've read The Stolen Child and it is a fabulous book, but it's not really Fantasy. I'm not sure how to explain it.
