ironymaiden | sell me some fiction

i'm out of book. i'd like to get things from the library, preferably stuff that has been out for a while so that the holds list is short. (last suggestion from

webcowgirl is not part of the library collection. *pouts*)

i'm willing to give most anything a try.

hard sells: mainstream romance, most mystery, shared world fiction, books with two authors, most literary fiction, Tolkien ripoffs, Baen military sf. (either helpful or totally confusing: Rabbit bad, Possession good. Illiad bad, Odyssey good. John Ringo bad, John Scalzi good. Robert Jordan bad, George RR Martin good.)

anyway, please recommend a book.
