My 50book progress

Two things to know:
My 50 books are all books I've never read before.
Also, some of them are books on tape that I listen to as I drive.


7) The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. No, I'd never actually read this. Not bad at all, really.

6) Herbert West, Reanimator by H.P. Lovecraft Yet another very slashy Lovecraft nightmare. Two men, devoted companions, living together, practicing medicine together, grave robbing together...


5) Getting into Character; Seven secrets a novelist can learn from Actors. Brandilyn Collins. Very good. had a couple of revelations about various characters already.

4) Writers of the Future (1989) The winners of the annual short story contest judged by some of the biggest names in SF.

3) Turn the other Chick. Ester Friesner, ed. More humorous stories of women in armor. Harry Turtledove's "Of Mice and Chicks" is a scream.

2) The Pirate and the Puritan. Cheryl Howe. Basic historical romance.

1) Neuromancer by William Gibson. Great grand-daddy of the whole cyberpunk genre.
