I apparently have not read anythin in this genre, as I don't recognize any of the books listed and the "magical realism" isn't bringing anything to mind. Sorry, but I hope this list ends soon, as I can't participate till it ends.
I'm not sure I've ever figured out what magical realism is either... can anyone give us a definition?

Definition of Magical Realism from answers.com: A chiefly literary style or genre originating in Latin America that combines fantastic or dreamlike elements with realism. (So, for example, a girl born with green hair and magical abilities is a perfectly reasonable event and is accepted as something normal by the characters within the story... from House of the Spirits)
