Books like Born to Run

Oh, man. I forgot about these books. I was looking through Teej's book list, thinking that I should read all the book's that he had listed that I had never read (and immediately giving up; Teej, my love; where ever you are now: know that I love you and would pay you any service or sign of respect in my power... except read those Xanth novels. Ye gods... what horrible taste in books you had in some respects, Boy. Heh.) and I came across the SERRAted Edge novels.They're marvelously awful. Wonderful Fun. Fast. Tacky as all hell. Very, very '80's in concept and execution, even though they were published in 1990 an '91 or thereabouts. The gist is that there are these elves, right? And they live in modern cities in modern times and they race cars for a living. But because elves get burned if they touch any sort of iron, the race cares aren't really cars, they're horses. Elven steeds gone all shape-shifty. Adorable. I could just cuddle them.Because they were written by Mercedes Lackey, who has a firm grip on her genre, the series (an this first book especially) are quite readable and only sometimes cause one to roll one's eyes. Most of the giggling elicited from readers by the text are caused more from a giddy sense of delight in the brain-dead yahoo-fare and less from any snarky tendencies one might have. It's very easy to suspend one's sense of good taste and just enjoy these little treats for what they are.Recommended, if you're in to this sort of thing.
