'Lessons'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Seanan has nothing but wonderful things to say about Diana. She's her own personal superhero.
I once spent a couple of hours talking with Diana about various ficwriters we knew, and she was badgering me to write something long and original she could represent--before I figured out who she was. *grins*
If only I had something I could give her! Sigh.
My brother is bored with his current reading and at drift. He challenged me : ask your friends what the best scifi book that has come out in the last 10 years was
So gimme.
Well if Dystopians count, I'd say Oryx and Crake followed by the Year of the Flood, both by Atwood.
I'm usually very bad at choosing The Best Anything, but I think I'll go with Anathem.
The book(s) I've been the most impressed with in the last ten years is probably Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman novels. Amazing world-building.
This Town Will Never Let Us Go.
It probably isn't, but I love it so much that I don't care.
Anathem, no question for me.
Though Cloud Atlas is giving it a run for its money, in a very untraditional way.
I haven't read Antathm, but Cryptonomicon is definitely on my list so I'll have to check it out.
Anathem and Cloud Atlas are both fantastic indeed.
I need to re-read Anathem. Despite my general disgruntledness with books that have their own glossary, and despite the fact that the ending(s) made my head spin, it was excellent.
