That film? Wow. As much as I really like Beckett (Samuel, that is. Not Carson. 'Cause I love him.), he's got one play called Breath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_%28play%29). It's... special. There's a fine line between Theatre of the Absurd and What's The Point of This Theatre. "Breath" crosses that line.
Silver Metal Lover? I'm not familar with it. Will have to find it as it sounds really exciting. Also don't knoe Lorna Freeman.
Robin Hobb! I just picked up the Mad Ship series again- read them awhile ago, decided rereading over winter break would be a good idea.
I'm all about fantasy and sci fi, particularly when it's good, well written fantasy and sci fi. Deathstalker by Simon R. Green is an example of Really Really Bad sci fi. Highly amusing, and worth the read for the humor.
Hmm. Who else? I read large quantities of children's and YA fiction thanks to my work. I'm not complaing, though. Fly By Night by Frances Hardinge is great fun- lots of wordplay. It's really only YA in the sense that there isn't lots of sex or harsh language. There's also Spohie's World by Jostein Gaarder, which is sorta fantasy and sorta philosophical and lots awesome. It takes metafiction to a whole new level.
