Books
"Never judge a book by its movie."--J.W. Eagan
Caveat Lector: These are personal opinions (are there any other kind?), and are recommended books. Exceptions: Some books of a series I otherwise liked; also the indexed LiveJournal posts.
On the Shelf
Index of LiveJournal Posts - Alphabetized, organized index of posts on books, TV shows, and movies (dominated by the first two items). These are less coherent and more impressionistic, as befits my weblog. Spoilers abound.
And for frivolity's sake (or beleaguered relatives?), my Amazon.com wishlist (a placeholder for myself more than anything else).
Recommended Works
- Fantasy Top Tens - Divided into novels, series (of novels), and short stories.
- Science Fiction Top Tens - As above.
- Recommended Sf/f Novels - Includes series. I use "novel" loosely, more or less "book."
- Recommended Sf/f Stories - I use "stories" loosely, more or less "shorter works in a collection, anthology, or magazine."
- Recommended Sf/f Anthologies/Collections - Splendid ways to become acquainted with shorter works.
- Recommended Horror - I don't read much of it due to a weak stomach, but there are impressive works out there.
- Recommended Mainstream & Children's Books - The non-sf/f/h reading, really.
- Recommended Poetry - Anything from haiku to ballads to free verse.
- Nonfiction by Category - Magpie readings.
