October novel-reading

[garran]

Stubbornly, there is some.

William Gibson, Spook Country
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
George R. R. Martin, Fevre Dream
Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint
Ellen Kushner, The Privilege of the Sword

This batch highlights what is perhaps an unavoidable flaw in my method with these posts, or at least it will if a particular regular commenter asks about the book that I expect them to, because I read that book way back at the beginning of the month, and now my impressions are much vaguer than they were at the time. I can probably find something to say, though.

I'll second these.

And depending on what you think about Gibson, have you ever looked into any of Neal Stephenson's work?

I have read Cryptonomicon two or three times, but none of Stephenson's other work, though The Diamond Age is sitting on a shelf around here somewhere. To elaborate my canonical cyberpunk author credentials, I have also read some short form Sterling, but never yet any Cadigan, although I keep meaning to.
