Books in Church

I would love to have smart discussions with truth-seekers in my church about the theological issues these books raise, but I probably never will.  However, the chance of this happening is highly unlikely.  There would be the usual confusion about depiction vs. endorsement (not a confusion exclusive to conservative Christians).  There would also probably be condemnation, offense, and outrage about language and content [especially sex], about depictions of immorality, evil, and bad choices and their consequences. 

So this is my starter list.  Do you have any to add?  I'll keep them somewhere in case the opportunity ever arises . . . : )

• Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
• The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
• The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks
• Singled Out by Colon and Field
• The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
• Tales of the Otori trilogy by Lian Hearn
• White Night (and the other Laschiel Dresden Files books) by Jim Butcher
