That's really more of a Fantasy book. I know I'm splitting hairs, but I'm kind of a stickler for properly labeling sub-genres.

The first 5 books in the chronicles of amber. After Corwin's 5 books the series can fuck right off. Don't know what zelazny was thinking.

I've never read Feehan, but if you like romance, try Norwegian Wood, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Blind Assassin, Look At Me (Anita Brookner), Snow Country, The Girl With Glass Feet, The Painted Veil ...

I've been reading works by Cormac McCarthy. "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men" are both good reads. A little depressing though.
