Score

oooh - that Markus Heitz looks well tasty!

Lagerkvist's book sounds very interesting.

I would vote for Deamonslayer and Dragonslayer by Bill King. The most dwarf-centric of his seven Slayer titles, the first offers two new brilliant characters to the main cast of dwarven slayers, as well two casts of dwarfs, including the denizens of a lost and forgotten dwarven city, besieged by the armies of chaos. The second book takes the main characters to another dwarven city, the city of the slayer cult, where the three become seven and set out on a great mission to find their honourable dwarven doom against a chaos-tainted dragon. Failing that, I'd say The Hobbit, but for me, it's the more dwarfs the better :)

Written with aggressive style, a pretty straight-forward allegory, still a "good read"--for a time, it was the assigned reading for Freshman English, much like Lord of the Flies, a wake-up! book.

Why is Geek Love not on this list??

You can add books to any Listopia lists Mary.

Erm - I don't think 'fat' is needed here - just them there dwarves!

Mary, as Rora says - you can add books to this list; up there on the right there is a search box.

:O)

Graceling and The Hunger Games

Canary, the author's name you're thinking of is Daniel Silva (so you had the spelling almost right!). He has a whole series of books about a character named Gabriel Allon, an art restorer who doubles as an assassin for the Israeli spy agency Mossad. (I've never read any of these, but they're regularly reviewed in the library trade journals.)

katniss in thg isnt really an assasin though. but katsa in graceling is.

Added Lover Mine, for Xhex! :)

Yay!!! Thanks, Mel!

Just FYI - I have a Non-Tolkien Hobbit and Halflings list, if I could possibly benefit from someone else's expertise! :)
