I loved the last novel i read...Death Comes As The End by Agatha Christie. The story is interesting and entertaining. Basically something like a history novel but worth reading.

Well i suck when giving recommendations

I just finished "The Gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson.

Summary:

"The Gargoyle" thoroughly plans an elaborate and definite suicide upon his release from the hospital. He was once a beautiful man with a successful career as a pornographer. He knows he hasn't led a good life and without his looks, he's left alone and penniless. He has nothing left to live for...until a beautiful yet mentally ill woman, Marianne Engle, enters his room one day and tells him they were once lovers 700 years ago.

Of course, he doesn't believe her but her presence helps keep his mind off his pain and the horrible treatment he must go through. Marianne entertains him with the story of how they met when she was a scribe at a famous convent in Germany during the 14th century. However, as she tells him their story she also tells him tales of doomed lovers, tales of love and sacrifice. The narrator finds himself working harder to get well so he can hear the rest of the story.

Upon his release, he moves in with Marianne where he witnesses her frightening, frenzy as she sculpts gargoyles in her basement. She claims her 'three masters' demand that she give her 27 hearts to the monsters in the stone for God. She works to exhaustion and can't manage to take care of herself. Now this injured man must take care of this sick woman, while he battles demons of his own.

The book is awesome and I totally recommend it. It just...has it all. Love, hatred, sadness, fantasy, myths. EVERYTHING

I've read Fragile Things and Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman which are collections of short stories and poems. They were really good. I had no idea he was the author of Stardust.
