  Hmm,
  
  James Enge's "The Blood of Ambrose" is dark.
  Dave Freer and Eric Flint's "Slow train to Arcturus" is not, but it won a readers choice award for 2008.

    "Slow Train to Arcturus" definitely seems like the kind of thing I would read.
    
    I'll check out "The Blood of Ambrose." I'm 50-50 on fantasy novels. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I hate them.

  I'm always so behind the time because about 50% of the books sitting on my top to bottom book shelve are still waiting for me. I have a problem not buy books when I go to a book store so I've gotten way behine.
  
  I am reading My Sisters Keeper. Thought I should get that one out of the way before I see the movie. The book is so much better than i expected.

        Hard Times by Charles Dickens was dark enough. I just finished reading this. Plus it is very well written.

  I just read "Son of a Witch" by Gregory Maguire which is the sequel to "Wicked". "Wicked" is a retelling of "The Wizard of Oz" from the wicked witch's point of view. Dark. Yup. But I thoroughly enjoyed them.

  The book White Tiger is interesting and got excellent reviews from New Yorker etc. About everyday life in modern India.
