redbird: a dragon-shaped thing in a jar (dragon)
( Mar. 8th, 2004 10:54 pm)
The Tiptree jury is at the stage of making lists and talking about books and stories we've all read. Which means that I'm going to be dipping into some of those works again--and no, I'm not issuing any sneak previews here--but it also means that I'm basically done with my intense "can't read that now, it's not Tiptree" stage. (The largest part of that, of course, was recommendations of works not published in the last year or so.)

I'm partway through John M. Ford's collection Heat of Fusion. I also have a stack of "we'll get to it later" things that came in as part of the Tiptree process, notably books that a fellow juror reported back on as "Good, but not at all Tiptreeish", so the rest of us put them aside for later.

But I'm also open to recommendations, more generally. In particular, if we had a conversation in which you recommended a book and I said "Get back to me next year", it is now next year.

Also, I could use a good books/reading userpic.
