Sobre mimI searched around long enough and found out who I am. Yep, I'm a northeastern Iowa bibliophile (rare).

To see what books I've been reading, see my bio on BookMooch

Thank you for your recommendation of Radio Freefall. I'll look it up. Cheers.

Thanks for the recommendations you made in the Feminist SF group. I posted a reply there too. (You also inspired me to check out the thread in the Science Fiction Fans group; there are some great recommendations there as well!)

Oh and by the way, I'm a Joan Slonczewski fan as well!

publicado por avisannschild às 2:15 pm (EST) em Sep 8, 2009

I am not a member of Science Fiction Fans but I lurk. I wanted to thank you for the list of women sci fi authors you recommended to the group. I was particularly taken that you recommended Joan Slonczewski, as I liked the two-three books I have of hers (not yet logged) but do not hear much about her. I am looking forward to making the acquaintance of the writers you mentioned that I did not know about.

publicado por NeverStopTrying às 12:27 pm (EST) em Aug 18, 2009

Thanks for the tip. I'm aware of Harlan Ellison, but haven't read anything from him. Strange Wine is available in BookMooch, so perhaps I'll start with that.

publicado por msaari às 11:53 pm (EST) em May 15, 2009

I just finished Arc d'X. I think my favourite is still Sea Came in by Midnight, but this one was strong, too. As usual, Erickson managed to craft the book really well, I like how the same scenes repeat in the novel, seen by different eyes, and how the characters kind of overlap.

publicado por msaari às 5:53 am (EST) em May 15, 2009

Thanks for the kind comments about my review of Nova. I'm trying to review all the books I've listed as "read", aiming for one new review a day (roughly). I'm going to try to do a few more Delany books in the next couple days.

publicado por StormRaven às 8:01 pm (EST) em Apr 16, 2009

Yeah, I mooched another Steve Erickson book. I think I now have most of them, either read or on the to-be-read list. From the books I've read so far, Sea Came in at Midnight is my favourite. Interesting if you think this is even better, I'll have to read it and see, then!

publicado por msaari às 11:48 am (EST) em Apr 15, 2009

I'm excited to get to it! A lot of what I've been adding lately has been from making my way through that Guardian UK 1000 must read books list. I hit Sci-Fi/Horror and Travel pretty hard. Bookmooch has actually treated me really well in my attempt to check them all out!

publicado por Drew_Blood às 9:12 am (EST) em Apr 8, 2009

I either love or hate Kim Stanley Robinson, but I'm willing to try anything he's written. I'll also take a look at Air. Thanks!

publicado por sturlington às 10:12 am (EST) em Mar 14, 2009

Hi, Thanks for the comment you left on my review of Earth. My favorite Octavia Butler novel is definitely Parable of the Sower, although I love everything she's written with the exception of Kindred, which I thought was a little weak. I have read The Gold Coast by Robinson, which I didn't like all that much, but I should probably try another one in that trilogy. Right now, I am trying to get through the Mars trilogy, which I like a lot, but the books are so long! Cheers, Shannon

publicado por sturlington às 4:21 pm (EST) em Mar 13, 2009

Hey! We have a lot of books in common. You have a lot of books, and they cover many topics. I added you to my interesting libraries list :) Take Care!

publicado por BooksToLove às 2:37 am (EST) em Mar 10, 2009

Hi -- thanks for adding me to your Interesting Libraries list. We have a lot of books in common, and a wide variety. I like your tag cloud. And not only because it resembles mine! You are an active tagger. See you around the water cooler!

publicado por stellarexplorer às 6:41 pm (EST) em Mar 4, 2009

Instead, I read your reviews. I was delighted to find your positive reaction to *Spin State* and *Anathem.* I was swept up by the first and will get back to the second when my life calms down a little. I'd like to add you to my interesting libraries as a reference.

So to be a northeastern Iowa bibliophile is as rare as to find one of the breed in southeastern N.C.? This is a mighty fine place for a lonely reader. I like the selection of books that we have in common and especially the fact that you have so many in common with my friend Nulla. I'm going to poke around in your library a bit and then go read something of my own!

publicado por LizzieD às 8:59 pm (EST) em Feb 1, 2009

Thanks for the interesting library addition.
You have a very impressive collection of science fiction!
Glad to see Uncle Hugo's as a favorite bookstore,, I try and get the every couple of weeks.

Here's what I wrote on Mind of My Mind (a reread) on the 75 Book Challenge thread where I keep a book log/journal:

This novel is the 2nd book in a group of five 'Patternist' novels by Octavia Butler who wrote the five books in the series out of sequence. The first novel chronologically is Wild Seed and a good place to start. In that book, we are introduced to Doro, an immortal and, frankly, a parasite, who has been breeding throughout the centuries, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. In Mind of My Mind he confronts a telepathic daughter who has developed into something special, something he has been waiting for, for a long time. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm not sure the book stands on its own very well - it is a complete story but, imo, the reader is better served by reading the whole series. I enjoy Butler's novels because she draws great characters and always has something to say about family, gender, race, and power.

publicado por avaland às 7:24 am (EST) em Nov 7, 2008

Seems I read somewhere that Mieville has something new on the horizon (Kraken? or something like that), and Jeff seems too busy editing to write another novel (I hope this is not true). I doubt they are likely to touch on the themes of race, family, and power in the way Butler did it:-) Me thinks their influences come from elsewhere . . . sigh. I have stockpiled a few newer authors who sound promising: Theodora Goss, Catherynne Valente and Nisi Shawl but they are in the massive TBR pile. . .

Well, happy reading. I'm sure we'll be talking:-)

Hey... yes, we share quite a bit in common by way of literary tastes... do you teach? So on your recommendation I went ahead and ordered "Ghostwritten." I had heard of Mitchell before and look forward to reading him, so thanks for the suggestion. You know, if you were a slightly alienated 21 year old college kid I won't recommend Palahniuk, but I see you're not, so I say, skip it, although he is fun, a pleasurable read, and Lullaby is a pretty good one of his. I was thinking of the Mitchell you pointed out and Tokyo in and would recommend to you Stephen Barber's "The Tokyo Trilogy" (Sodom/Slaughterhouse/Supernova). Its really stunning, although your tastes have to run for sure on the "transgressive" side - since you list Acker as a fav I'd say you'd dig it. OK, Ill let you know how it goes, any other suggestions would always be welcome...

Damn, nice library... I used to stay in Dubuque for a while... mostly I was gambling on the riverboat.

I just "became friends" with LibraryThing member and author scottmga who keeps a blog about books and writing and to whom I send a tip-of-the-hat for an excellent taste in literature.
