a big honkin' list
Apr. 9th, 2009 09:10 pmBooks I own and can actually read now that I'm done with school:
Command Decision and Victory Conditions by Elizabeth Moon, in the Vatta's War series, which I am loving to the point that I have bought all the books published so far, and I have done so since this year began. Also Lunar Activity which is an early anthology of Moon's short fiction.
Power Lines and Power Play, both by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. I love the first book of this trilogy and reread it frequently, so I jumped at the opportunity to get the rest when it came. I've actually read halfway though Power Lines already, but I had to stop because I was getting so frustrated with the Evil Queer Anthropologist.
Song In The Silence, The Lesser Kindred, and Redeeming The Lost by Elizabeth Kerner. The first book in this trilogy will be a reread for me, but my original copy disintegrated some years ago, so I need the refresher.
The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan, which some of you will remember reading that I bought quite a while ago. I misplaced it. ^^; I just found it again yesterday.
The Song of Roland as translated by Glyn Burgess. Oldest extant French epic poem. And! :D A "substantial portion" of the original Chanson de Roland is included in the same book.
The Elusive Pimpernel by the Baroness Orczy, which I picked up last night. (Actually, I will probably put off reading this until The Scarlet Pimpernel and El Dorado: Further Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel arrive from Amazon and read them all at once.)
Looking Backward: 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy. Click that link for a better explanation of why I want to read it than I could give you.
We Think Therefore We Are, edited by Peter Crowther. "15 original tales about the nature of artificial intelligence", which is always a topic of interest to me.
The Bone Doll's Twin and Hidden Warrior by Lynn Flewelling. I have a love/hate relationship with Flewelling's Nightrunner series. I expect these to be just as engaging, dark, and complex. And also there's genderswap. Hey, this is me we're talking about; let's make my motivations perfectly transparent, here, shall we? ;3
So, that's fifteen books, with two more in the mail.
Good thing I'm going on vacation later this month. ^^;
