crowsI am not promising to take any of the following recommendations. But I might!
Right now, I'm reading and nearly through with Shirley Jackson's short novel, We Have Always Lived in the Castle. It's excellent. I think I'd like to read science fiction next... and can't really shake out of my head any major recommendations for science fiction that I've had lately. As a general rule, I tend to prefer books that tuck off into the odd corners of genres, and I'm not apt to enjoy your basic throw-away, pew-pew space opera adventure story. I like magical realism, post apocalypse, distopias...I like Burgess and Borges and Gregory Maguire and Ambrose Bierce.
Any ideas, oh internot hive-mind?
