What to read next!

[danaeris]

I've just finished Ethical Slut, I'm 2 pages from finishing The Courtesans, and I'm about half done with Pagan Polyamory. It's high time for some fiction, I figure. The question is, what to read?

[Poll #700029]

Also,




What type of Fae are you?

Everything on that list aside from 1984 is a book or series that a well-read person can go their entire life without reading, and miss nothing aside from a few hours of amusement.

1984 is serious brain-food... but then I'm a raving Orwell fan. I've even read his love letters to Cyril Connelly!

But then...the request was for 'fiction'. 1984 reads more like 'current events' all the time.

I must respectively disagree with pyat. The Forever War is on a par with 1984. It's not quite as important as 1984, but it's a lot more accessible and not quite so depressing. It's certainly relevant to the current global political client.

I can mostly agree on reflection. It think it's certainly worth reading and is more than simply entertainment, though I think its anitwar message gets mostly lost in the "Gosh wow, SPACE MARINES!" stuff at first, and then later in the future society speculation.

if you care...

i thought it was strange how i came across this poll... and i figured i would share.

i posted poll #70030, out of curiosity i decided to look at the poll that was posted before mine, yours, it is strange that they were both about books.

and... 1984 is a wonderful book.

Dianne Wynne Jones is light hearted and fun. You need a bit of relaxation and fun in your life right now.

I think reading something fun for the next while will give you perspective and joy. Your inner child will appreciate it. Joy is good. You could go with Eregon as well.

Tanya Huff is a good choice too.
