Locus Magazine has come out with its Recommended Reading list for 2007. It’s the critical consensus of their editors and reviewers on the best SF and Fantasy of the year, and Cory Doctorow says, “a more reliable guide to great speculative fiction you will not find.”

I loves me some British SF. That Engineer trilogy (I read a free excerpt online) is crazy stuff--I wish to possess it.

Thanks for that, Karen.  I'll be looking for some of them, as I am wanting to read more sci-fi.
