Books!

Thanks to queenofhalves, rocket_jockey and godlyperspectiv I now have Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword and The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov on order from Amazon zShops. One fantasy, one piece of classic literature.

Both sound great!

I'm still interested in more recommendations, so please keep making them!

Sci Fi

[qos.livejournal.com]

I enjoy science fiction, although I don't read as much as I used to. (I'm not finding anything that interests me.) Dune is one of my all-time favorites. Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series is another big favorite, although that's more "Space Opera" than science fiction, perhaps. C.S. Friedman's In Conquest Born is a favorite.

I've read some of the Honor Harrington books, but ran out of steam on about book four. She's a great heroine, but the details of the military technology got a bit much for me (even though I admired the author's apparent understanding of the theories).

The books you mention above sound good, although I don't have a particular interest in alternate history. Modern fairy tales are interests of mine, and I want to read more of DeLint's urban fairy tales.

Feel free to make more suggestions!
