Are You Ready for a Speed Round?

Lois McMaster-Bouchold is a fantasy author and also does outer space space opera kind of things. I've just been listening to her series, Penric and does Damona on audiobook. It's about a world in which demons are present, but they're not like bad Christian demons or some of them are helpful and do interesting things. Oh, anyway. Give me a book or an author outside of biblical studies and theology that you think is worth reading.
