The Magicians by Lev Grossman

Title: The Magicians
By: Grossman, Lev
Published: 2010
Call #: Fiction Gross.L

A meta-fantasy book for those who grew up loving fantasy books, and always harbored the secret hope that one day a wizard would show up on their doorstep with a quest, or a letter of admission to Hogwarts, or a magic wardrobe.  This book explores what happens when that occurs, and you get everything you ever wanted…and then find out it isn’t at all what you thought it would be.  Also the basis for the tv series of the same name!
