The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

Hard to describe really; it's set in an alternative history where people take literature way too seriously, to the point that there is a department in the police force just for policing literature matters. And then someone invents a machine that can let you enter a book and screw things up. Plus a lot more stuff happens. It's really funny, if you've got a taste for the absurd.

And the main character is a female and she kicks total arse.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

Hmm, Ayn is a pain. Reading her is torture.

Sewer, Gas, and Electric takes the piss out of her in a hilarious fashion and features a great female lead. Excellent book.

I am more into fantasy

Wolf Tower by Tanith Lee if you like this go for the sequels Wolf star and wolf queen.

One favourite is the "chanters of tremaris trilogy" by kate constable
I have to confess I judge a book by its cover and it was books 2 & 3 that caught my eye. So I read book 1 obviously but the cover is rubbish on it.

What are you trying to say? How this about Good Books with Female Protagonists?

Statikk HDM 06-21-2006 11:09 AM

C.J. Cherryh's books have a lot of good female leads. Melein and the she-pan Intel in the Faded Sun Trilogy are good female characters.
