I kept track of a few of the more obscure ones, and then I went out and hunted them down via Bookfinder.com. eg: the Master Li and Number 10 Ox books by Barry Hughart, and the Continuing Time books by Daniel Keys Moran. Perhaps I should go through and find the ones that the List recommended and add them to the CDR, though reading them first might help. > I'm just finishing Chasm City. I don't like it much. Any particular reason why? Have you read (and liked) any of Alastair Reynolds other books? ------------------------------------------ I read "Revalation Space" recently. I was on-again, off-again about it as I read it. Mr. Reynolds has a rich imagination, but has trouble telling his story coherently over almost 600 pages. Tho' I usually enjoy long space operas (such as A Deepness in the Sky), this could've been tightened up some to make it more enjoyable. His characters are not easy to like either. I would give RS a cautious "thumb's up" because I like the answer in the conclusion--it just appealed to me. As a result, I will most likely give "Chasm City" and "Redemption Ark" a read eventually.
