2. Dune Messiah
3. Children of Dune
4. God-Emperor of Dune
5. Heretics of Dune
6. Chapterhouse: Dune
7. Empire of Fear
8. Sunglasses at Night
9. Succubus on Top
10. Succubus Dreams
11. Succubus Heat
12. Bone Crossed
13. The Road
14. Sunshine
15. Greywalker
16. Poltergeist
17. Vanished
18. Green
19. V for Vendetta
20. The Handmaid's Tale
21. The Golden City

Wow, there's a lot more here than I had guessed. I read Bone Crossed in one day while on vacation in L. A. I was exhausted from driving for 3 days straight and just collapsed with book in hand. It's the third in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, and I enjoy it more than the Anita Blake novels. The surprises for me were Sunglasses at Night, a vampire novel, and Green a novel by Jay Lake, which I enjoyed and which was stepped in steam punk. I've read about five or six steam punk novels and have not liked any of them.

Sunshine is my favorite book on the list. I highly recommend it. It's vampires, but not the usual stuff. Neil Gaiman says, of Sunshine, "Nearly perfect."
