Hothouse
This is one of the most extraordinary books I have ever read. First of all, it starts few million years in the future, when the Sun is dying, Earth has been taken over by giant plants and the last remaining human beings are 5 times smaller than now.

Shadow of the Torturer
Dark profession of tortures isn’t to often described in fantasy literature. Wouldn’t it be fun to read how they torture people ? Probably for some psychos
Fortunately this book focuses more on other aspects of torturers life.
We are following the life of a young apprentice in the Guild of Torturers which learns his profession.
