first of all, a hundred thanks to you, this list is wonderful and I'd never heard of any of these books.

I'm not really looking for anything in particular, sci fi and fantasy or non-fiction or magical realism or essay-type are mostly my thing, but if you ever come up with anything else do feel free to let me know !!
