Banner of Souls by Liz Williams

Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S Tepper - Interesting, especially the bits of the play about Iphegenia at Illium, but on the whole I thought it made its point a little too bluntly. Also, the contrasting patriarchal society was a joke and not at all a serious argument. Still, it was fun to read.

Pomegranate Soup by Marsha Mehran

JSA: The Liberty Files

Bloodmusic by Greg Bear

Vampire Circus. It's a Hammer film from 1972 and has both Lalla Ward and Robin Sachs in it. I will never find it anywhere.

The Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian

Jennifer Government by Max Barry.

Skin by Kathe Koja

Gifts by Ursula K Le Guin

The Revelation by Bentley Little

Corbenic by Catherine Fisher

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Ordinary Horror by David Searcy

Vanishing Point by Michael Roessner.

Girl in Landscape by Jonathan Lethem

The Raffles the Amateur Cracksman novels.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeffry Lindsay. - Awesome. A+. Engaging plot, intriguing narrator (who, okay, sounds like the Shade in my head), reasonable if rushed denoument (I totally spelled that wrong). I can't wait to read the sequel.

Penda's Fen by David Rudkin. It's a play and/or movie.

It's that thing that Rebis quotes in Doom Patrol - "I am mud and flame."

The Black Company series by Glen Cook

Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon.

The Years of Our War by Steph Swainston.

The Steerswoman by Rosemary Kirstein.

Jesus Christ Superstar: Resurrection. Yes, the one with the Indigo Girls. (Check soulseek.)

The Hellsing manga. Shut up. - Read the first volume and didn't care for it. Part of it is due to the fact that I don't care to read backwards and I find the art hard to follow (yes, yes, western comics reader, me) but most of it is due to the fact that it seems to be all action and no character work. Maybe if I'd read further, this would have improved but as it was, I didn't see any compelling reason to give the series any more of my time.

Live From Golgotha by Gore Vidal

Fools War by Sarah Zettel

The novels of Tananarive Due.

Jim Butcher - the Dresden Files novels. - Read the first one. Interesting, if a little clunky, and I like Harry Dresden and the world that Butcher has set up. However, I didn't like it enough to rush to read the rest of the series. Might be fun to pick up once in a while but not a must-read.

A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge.

Princess Tutu. It's an anime.

Yeah, I know.

The Player of Games by Iain Banks. And possibly other Culture novels by the same author.

Dark Sleeper by Jeffrey E Barlough

The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams.

Our Lady of the Lost and Found by Diane Schoemperlen.

The Bride of Frankenstein by Elizabeth Hand. And indeed many of the related monster-fanfic novels released by Dark Horse Press.

Shoot me now.

Raptor Red by Robert T Bakker - Grabs but doesn't stick. It's a neat book and I feel like I'm learning neat things from it but it reads like a National Geographic episode. It's very cinematic - I feel like I can see all of the action, which is rare for me. Enjoyable, but probably not a reread unless I'm really in the mood for dinosaurs.

The Colorado Kid by Stephen King

Perfume by Patrick Suskind. - Read about half of it. Didn't grab me. No interesting characters and even the monster only had one thing going for him - his preternatural sense of smell. Descriptions of perfume industry and perfume making were interesting to a point. Concept is lovely - a person with no personal odor who therefore disconcerts everyone who comes in contact with him and who experiences the world primarily through smell - but the concept is all the book has going for it. Not really a hit.

Crows: Encounters with the Wise Guys by Candace Savage.

City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff Vandermeer.

Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton

Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith

First post

This will be my booklog, as I don't want to put it on LJ. My personal LJ is too chaotic and cluttered for me to organize it properly and I don't having to sign out of it to post in another journal. And del.icio.us doesn't work the way I want it to. So the booklog will be kept here. I'll post titles of books I want to read and come back and review them after I've read them. I may put movies here too. We'll see.

Hurrah!
