The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert-Heinlen


I've said many times I'm not extremely well read in Sci-fi, and I think my list shows with the limited works by Dick and Heinlen, but I'm not totally ignorant. My problem with Heinlen is I became a Sci-fi reader when I was to old and many of his works that I think I would have greatly enjoyed at a younger age and would ahve carried nostalgic value seem rather simplsitic to me in nature now. This novel is no different, but luckily I caught it when I was younger.
Altered Carbons by Richard K. Morgan


Great relatively new sci-fi/cyber novel in which humans have achieved some sense of immortality. I greatly enjoyed his other novels Market Forces and Broken Angels, and waiting for Woken Furies. Defintely getting to the point, like Wright, where I just buy his books upon release.
Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick


A title that has Dragon in it, that even China Mieville gives props to. What!!?? Instant classic by an author who rarely disappoints.
The Steampunk Trilogy: Victoria Hottentots Walt and Emily by Paul Di Filippo
The Silmarillion/ History's of Middle Earth by JRR Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien


Have to give the editions that allow me to be a Tolkien smart a$$ some credit. These novels depict Tolkien's immense undertaking of giving his series a history.

Kingdom of Thorn and Bone by Greg Keyes


I liked The Briar King a lot but wasn't ready to buy into another epic series after being introduced to Martin, but Charnel Prince really established for me this series was a legitimate attempt at quality epic fantasy.
New Universal History of Infamy by Rhys Hughes


In homage and inspired by the original by Jorge Luis Borges, a series of historical/fiction/fantasy short, vivid, violent, and mastefuly written, this is a ridiculously well written book (review coming this week). Forward by he incomprable John Clute.

The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce


Joyce's third and final appearance (he has a lot more damn good novels BTW) on my list about a group of friends, one of which is granted powers by guess who?
Things that Never Were: Fantasies, Lunacies and Enteraining Lies - Matthew Rossi


Collection of specultaive non-fiction essays; uncategoriacal, but brilliant in imagiantion (review coming soon).
Jack Faust by Michael Swanwick


IMHO Swanwick's best work (which means damn good). In this rendtion Mephistopheles is a alien in medevil times.
