So, thoughts? Have you read any of these? Are any on your TBR? Do you disagree with any of the selections, and if so, why? ;) Last Edited on: 3/21/11 7:00 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Of these, I've read one (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms), one is on Mt. TBR (The Bone Palace) and I plan on picking up one more when it comes out in paperback (Who Fears Death). Looking at the descriptions, I suspect I'm going to try and track down at least the winner now too. . . |

I listened to and really liked The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms a couple of weeks ago. Who Fears Death, in my opinion wasn't quite as good. Oddly enough, part of why I didn't like it as much was the way she challenged the gender rolls. I'm just not really into giggling teenage females. I can see what she was trying to do, but it still doesn't make me enthralled with how she chose to do it. This vindicates me though! A friend who read it before I did said I was reading too much into it when we were talking about why those parts of the book were there. At least now I can point this list out to him and show him at least one other person thought along similar lines. They're both good quality books that certainly fit the Tiptree ideas. I have a copy of The Bone Palace, as well as a copy of "Eros, Philia, Agape" that I'll get around to eventually, I'm sure. White is for Witching sounds really interesting, as does The Colony. |
