GrupperCrime, Thriller & Mystery, FantasyFans, Science Fiction Fans, What Are You Reading Now?
Om migI'm a lawyer who wants to be a literary critic and book reviewer. I'm working hard to transform myself, caterpillar-like, from the former to the latter.
Om mit bibliotekOne can never have too many books. I mourn the coming of electronic books, because I consider the paper book the perfect technology -- not to mention that a book feels good in the hand, smells good, just fits a beautiful day under a tree or in a comfy chair by a fire.
I've amassed a considerable library of speculative fiction, my moniker for those books I hate to divide up into science fiction, fantasy, horror, New Weird, interstitial fiction, slipstream, or whatever label they've chosen to hang on it today -- fiction that's not of this world, but might be close to it. But I also have a large library of mysteries, literature, essays, criticism, science, religion, poetry -- you name it, there's probably a book about it here somewhere. There are books in every room in the house. That makes me happy.
Nothing in this library is part of my wishlist. I've got a written wishlist that's 37 pages long, and one that overlaps somewhat, but not completely, on Amazon that's another 45 pages long. It's pretty crazy. But man oh man, I do love books. There's nothing in the world I love more, except my husband -- and he appreciates just how much that means I love him.

I am tentatively stepping back into fantasy again, having abandoned it as a teenager and I prefer intelligently written novels, rather than the usual "pointy hats" or "wizard school" style. I stumbled across reference to Daniel Abraham in a thread here at LT, and your marvellous review has made my mind up for me. Straight to my Book Depository wishlist!
Cheers,

Well, I can think of far worse things to collect, and far less organized and compact ways of dealing with them. All that yellow has GOT to be good for the spirits.
"Carrie Vaughan is fun...not my usual type of book..."
Did I mention that my friend the werewolf-reader lent me "Moon Called" by Patricia Briggs THREE times before I finally broke down and read it?
And loved it. Sigh. But so far of the four or five authors she's sent me in that line I've only really enjoyed Briggs and Vaughn.
"Have you tried Tanith Lee?"
I used to read her when I was a youngling, but stopped abruptly when I got to the end of a book where the vampire that had been terrorizing the woman through the whole story turned out to be the only one she could ever really love, or vice versa. I'm less stressed out than I was in the vulnerable old days. I should give her another try, on your recommendation. Flat Earth Chronicles. I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Cheers,
Casey

I am sipping Snow-Eyes slowly. It is a slow-moving book, which appeals to me in some moods, and is beautifully written. Kind of remote, fairytale like, as well. I appreciate much of Stephanie's sensibility, and am content to let the story build. For my impatient moods I am reading Carrie Vaughn. A friend got me hooked recently--there are some very good werewolf books out there. Not something I would have guessed. Another snobbery bites the dust. (That would have been an outrageous thing to say if I'd been talking about vampire novels...)
Let me know how you like it.

Nice to hear from you. As to Sharon Green, it depends what kind of sf/fantasy you're into. If you like a good sword and sandals novel, it could be for you.
Regards,
Unorna.

What a wonderful collection, we seem to have a lot of books in common, nice to see someone else who likes Sharon Green. WHY is volume 3 of Blending Enthroned so difficult to get hold of????????

I too use the "SF" tag (though I further subdivide stuff into "science fiction" and "fantasy") - and I see you're also a major "DAW" collector. (Early on, I started a "DAW" Talk group (...but that hasn't caught on much).)
Yeah, it's nice that LT helps people meet others with similar interests: and yes, 2100 books in common is a pretty high degree of overlap.

I'd love it if you looked up my book (singular). It may appeal. And I'd love to be your Friend. Button about to be clicked.
Below is the Women's Day greeting I sent to my SF writers group. Thought you might like the juxtapositions.
Cheers!

Being as it is Hinternational Women's Day (and on the heels of a time change--what's the deep symbolism there?) I thought I'd greet you with a bow to that day in the form of three book recommendations. I hope some of you will contribute your own.
In the order that they popped to mind:
Walking on Fire: Haitian Women's Stories of Survival and Resistance by Beverly Bell. Cornell University Press (2001), Paperback, 272 pages (excellent.)
Jirel of Joiry by C. L. Moore. NY Paperback Library 1969. (1969), Paperback (a teenhood favourite.)
Girls in their married bliss by Edna O'Brien. London : Cape, 1971, c1964. (a sardonic delight.)
Blessed and Joyous Women's Day!

I am stunned by how many books you have read, let alone entered on LT since April! I putt along and enter one here and there, as the whim arises. I also read so slowly hair grows on the pages before they're turned. But I still love it!
Looking through the list of books we have in common, I notice a few writers I don't see in every list: Mike Coney, Daryl Gregory, Holly Phillips, obviously, and quite a few more. Very fun to pitter through your hallowed halls.
Cheers,
Casey

You can
die for it--
an idea,
or the world. People
have done so,
brilliantly,
letting
their small bodies be bound
to the stake,
creating
an unforgettable
fury of light. But
this morning,
climbing the familiar hills
in the familiar
fabric of dawn, I thought
of China,
and India
and Europe, and I thought
how the sun
blazes
for everyone just
so joyfully
as it rises
under the lashes
of my own eyes, and I thought
I am so many!
What is my name?
What is the name
of the deep breath I would take
over and over
for all of us? Call it
whatever you want, it is
happiness, it is another one
of the ways to enter
fire.
