I've recently been swept away with George RR Martin's series- I'm currently on book 2, A Clash of Kings, and am loving this medieval fantasy novel immensely. I will check out the list you've provided, thanks!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-38332786095138843282011-07-19T11:29:08.818-04:002011-07-19T11:29:08.818-04:00The session sound interesting.

I am interested in hearing the advice about not being able to read it all, and hearing about the size of people's personal libraries. It sounds like this was an excellent event, Marie!

The genre has for so long been dominated by the male Anglo-American perception... it's about time that the focus turned to different approaches to sci-fi (whether culturally, racially, etc.). Personally, I'm really looking forward to many of the books mentioned. Looks like there are some very interesting options.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-26263153659666070882011-07-19T07:47:30.515-04:002011-07-19T07:47:30.515-04:00We read The Dervish House last year and loved it. ...We read The Dervish House last year and loved it.
