Book poll

[sholio]

I've been wanting to talk more about the books I'm reading on my journal, but I seem to suck at doing reading roundup posts, and besides, in-depth discussions are more fun anyway. So, which of these books would you like to see me talk about? This poll isn't really binding, but I'm curious how many of these books my f'list has read, since the more of you that have read a book, the more interesting the discussion will be.

[Poll #1347258]

I'll probably think of a half-dozen more books I've read lately that would make interesting discussions after I post the poll...

I also dithered about whether to include the Bear book in the list, but I think it would make a particularly interesting discussion in light of recent Internet happenings, considering that one of the problems I had with the book -- which I nattered about at length to naye back in October or whenever it was that I read it -- was the cultural stuff ...

Surprised so many people voted for Kindred. It's sitting on my "to read" list, as my older sis loaned it to me when she came home for Christmas break. I still haven't gotten past the forward. I have read the Patternist trilogy by Octavia Butler though, and it was pretty eye-opening as far as the type of scifi I've been wanting to read all along.

I need to read more Butler! I read Parable of the Sower and didn't really like it, for various reasons, but I adored Kindred and now I want to get more of her books. I've heard lots of good things about Wild Seed, so that might be the next one that I get. (But, OMG, I have so much to read! Not that it's a bad problem to have. :D)
