Both fantastic books, but very different.

It's not banned, and the only reason you might have trouble finding it is if it's sold out. Here's a copy for $7.50 at Amazon.

amazon might be your best bet, most convenient and probably much cheaper than a bookstore. (I looked up the actual book for you, because I'm cool like that.)
I quite liked eragon, actually, (book, NOT film. that was a disgrace not worth talking about.)
at the moment I'm struggling through the wheel of time series. it has its (major) flaws, but I'm at book 10 and too stubborn to give up after I've made it this far.
If you are willing to give it a shot and you have 16 hours to kill, I'd recommend starting the series A Song of Ice and Fire. Guaranteed to keep you engaged.
If you are looking for a short read about small time crime in Boston and trying to sleep for 14.5 hours I'd recommend The Friends of Eddie Coyle.
Also if you have not read Ender's Game or the companion series Ender's Shadow this would be your other option. A fantastic sci-fi series, just realize that the author is kind of a dick.

You're not sadistic. What you are seeking is catharsis. That sort of shell shocked feeling you get after reading/watching something tragic.
As far as actual book recommendations go American Gods seems to be a good choice. Plus since its a fairly popular book around here you can come back and discuss it when you finish. (Thats one thing I hate about reading obscure books, its so hard to find anybody to discuss them with).
I a big fantasy junkie so I'd recommend reading A Game of Throne. Its really a great book and I'd definitely give it a try some time if I were you. The story's well paced, you get a variety of deep realistic characters, and it definitely delivers in the violent/cathartic criteria.
A Song of Ice And Fire (Book One is Game of Thrones). Try the free "Look Inside" sample and decide for yourself.

If you're not used to the large cast of characters, keep in mind it may feel a little slow. Keep reading, once you get used to it you'll be very impressed. And the superfluous details here and there usually are for a reason, they'll come back at later books to make you want to reread again.
I'm not sure what version of the book you have, but page 703 in this version shows that after taking off the poultice and putting mud on, the wound had become infected.
A Song of Fire and Ice - George R.R. Martin.
Well you did mention fantasy, so I'll put the obligatory A Game of Thrones out there (it gets recommended on basically every book thread) .
It's a little over $10 - but you have this on your WL, and you NEED it..like...right NAO
and I would want a surprise, because that's just how I roll.
Oh - i used to love watching Catdog!
I am looking forward to our annual parent vs kids game this saturday on the softball team that I coach.
Here's something 11 dollarish. Book
Buy yourself a copy of Game of Thrones! It's sooooooooooooo amazing--you really have to read it :D You're going to love it!
As for myself, I'd love a gift card to add to my Kindle Fire fund. I have a long ways to go before I can afford it, but I'm super excited for it!! And every little bit helps :)
I think you should buy this for yourself.
Then possibly THIS for me since, well, they kind of go together.
I'd love to have the first book but the ebook would would be fine as well.
The kiddos look awesome!
I haven't gotten to read the books. I'm disappointed in myself.
I need the first one, so i can start. Used paperback is more than okay. My Nook no longer works, so no digital for me. D:
And those two kids are adorable! I love his little knight costume. <3
