SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

Hey team,

I'm a fantasy writer, one day author, from beautiful British Columbia. I was born in June of '84. I've only been serious at writing for the last couple years, but I'm more than confident in my skill and I think it's only a matter of time before I've come up with something worth sending off to a publisher (and start going through the rejection process lol). So far I have one finished draft that isn't utter crap (yay!), one almost finished draft that's kinda utter crap (yay?), and a couple raw ideas that'll wait until I polish up the first second draft.

My favourite authors include (in no particular order) Raymond E. Feist, R. A. Salvatore, Terry Goodkind, Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman (their collabs at least, they seem to write much better as a pair than apart), Piers Anthony, Brian Jacques (yeah, yeah -- I like to read light stuff once in a while, and I like his style. Gonff hooked me, what can I say?) and lately Dave Duncan and (some of) Mercedes Lackey. As you can see I don't have any (wholly) sci-fi authors in there; I'm pretty much only into fantasy. (Why not the fantasy book club then? Because I looked at the fantasy this club reads and what the others read and felt this club fit my style better. Besides, once in a rare while I do pick up a sci-fi, or at least a crossover.) I've been meaning to hunt down some steampunk, but my only attempt as of yet (Havemercy) left me sorely disappointed. I recently picked up an Aluratek Libre, and since then most of my reading has been in eBook form.

Anything else worth saying? Let's see, aside from trying to get words on a page, I'm going to UBC this September to start on my BA -- the plan is to major in English and Japanese (and/or German -- I'd like both, but three majors would be insane and I need a non-modern languages major because:) and then in my fifth year take a high school teaching degree. When I entered grade 8 and found out German made a lot more sense (to me) than French, I suddenly fell in love with foreign languages to the extent that I studied Japanese on my own in grade 11 and challenged the exam so I could take both GE12 and JA12. I'm also a fan of the Canucks (Ehrhoff!), fishing and camping, and wasting time online.

Pleasure to meet you all!

Hi everyone,
I'm Venkat, born in '86 so 24 years old. I live in Chennai, India. I graduated from Amrita School of Engineering in Coimbatore, India. I now work as a Senior Systems Engineer in Infosys Technologies Ltd.
I was interested in reading books from a very early age. I quickly progressed from reading comics to books by Enid Blyton, Mark Twain etc.
I started reading novels in the second year of my engineering and never stopped since. I started with authors like Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsysth, Jeffrey Archer and now I am very much into the core fantasy novels by George RR Martin, Steven Erikson and such...
Eventhough I love all the books, I feel that fantasy novels have a big,big edge in story depth, character details, strategy, unpredictability and they make you dissolve in their own fantasy world.
Eventhough I am not able to read as many books as I did in my college days due to my job :(
I make it a point to read a book when Im commuting in the local train on the way to work and also on the way back.
Also, I believe that every book brings a change to ourselves, some very subtle but some more pronounced. But the change itself is not a lesson to learn/ulearn but an experience. It is upto you to decide whether you want to continue the experience or not?
As for me, I have an eternal contract with Hood to continue my experience!!!

Hi everybody,
i was born in 1986. I live in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. I am political scientist, and 2010 receive my master degree.
I am a crazy reader from my early childhood - i'm reading since i was 2 :) It's very pity that i read much less than i want, but as much as i can afford regarding my time. There are days, when i read only 5 or 10 pages - in subway during my way, but there are much better days...
I like contemporary European and American literature (esp., intellectual), surrealism, Latin American, Japan literature, China classic literature, etc. SciFi and Fantasy are the types of literature i also like very much, these are the best for me to rest.
From SciFi i like the most classical SciFi: Sheckley, Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Farmer, Simak; also Herbert, Simmons, Budzhold, etc. With fantasy the situation is contrary - i find the best contemporary fantasy: Irvine, Martin, Williams, Erikson, Scott Bakker, Hobb, Pratchett, and others.
For me SciFi and Fantasy are the great instruments for the author to show his/her ideas in the most appropriate conditions, situations, and surroundings. So, for me the book is never only entertainment, but also and obligatory smth notional, clever, and useful.
There is a very pity situation in Ukraine: actually, we can read only what was translated in the Russian Federation, because there is little possibility to find in Ukraine smth original in English. So we either should wait (e.g., i've read only 2 books of Malazan Book of the Fallen - other even are not planned for translation) or buy smth abroad (which is often difficult and expensive).

Hey, C.W.! Welcome! Its nice to see another Jacques fan. I love Brian Jacques! In fact, just got "The Sable Quean" the other day and will be reading it this weekend.... No age limit on fun stuff :)

Hello!
I'm an early-thirtysomething bookseller from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I've been reading for as long as I can remember. I read a little bit of everything, but my reading preferences are in science fiction, speculative fiction, and fantasy. For the past ten years I've also been writing, though I have not yet tried to publish anything.
Right now I'm waiting (trembling with antici-pation) on books to be released by Trudi Canavan, Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong, and Patricia Briggs. They all seem to be coming out in the next few weeks, so there will be plenty of reading for me. As a bonus, I'll be able put the Wheel Of Time series on the "read it if there is absolutely nothing else to be read" shelf.
Science fiction authors I've read who really excite and inspire me as a reader/writer are: Harlan Ellison, Frank Herbert, Peter F. Hamilton, Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Kurt Vonnegut.
If anyone has suggestions on authors similiar to Hamilton, LeGuin (her scifi), or Butcher, I'd love to hear them.
Beyond the technical aspects of writing, I feel a novel succeeds when the author has presented a character who fulfills one of the best qualities of human nature: justice, love, loyalty, compassion, etc. No matter how dark the novel is otherwise, there needs to be at least one believable character that expresses such a quality.

Hi, JF. I'm an author from LI NY, writing fantasy, and I'm a bookseller too. I had to become one since my publisher has some trouble getting our books into the big bookstores around here, so I made my own bookstore. I'm hoping you'll take a look at my novels, The Flame in the Bowl: Unbinding the Stone and/or A Warrior Made. Both of them will suit your requirements, as the story is about a man selected by the gods to do the things gods need to have done but cannot do themselves. He is one of the few in all the worlds who will do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. And please check out www.echelonpress.com for more of our titles. I've read most of them myself!

Hello, I'm Andy, I teach History and AP Geography in high school. I like fantasy, and sci fi, but do not limit myself to this genre. My favorite series is George Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", I've liked some of the Honor Harrington Series, Ender's Game, and Robin Hobb. Looking forward to the group.

Hi Andy, I'm Dennis and I have previously introduced myself and my SF novel 'The Understanding' Like most authors here I feel that my novel is just 'the bees knees'. While it was conventionally published by Eloquent books and is available from most distributors, I would like to have some feedback from someone on this link. I had a few authors' copies which I have given away.
I still have two copies to give away, just to have them read and an opinion, either on the web or through e-mail. There are no catches, so if you feel that you would have time to read it, please e-mail me details to forward a copy to you.
My e-mail is: [email protected]. Journalists who have reviewed 'The Understanding' have had high praise for it.

Just a short introduction for me. My name is Jakob, I'm from Iceland and was born in '83. I've always had a love for Fantasy and Sci-fi and am happy to be able to share that enjoyment with you guys :)

Welcome aboard Jakob

Hi All,

I'm a middle aged Canadian father of three, stereotypical linux sysadmin geek. I tripped over Goodreads thru a twitter comment and thought it sounded interesting.

I tend to inhale books rather than dissect them, so being social around my reading is a bit of an experiment for me. I expect to be seen more than heard :-)

If by chance anyone would like to export their Booxter library to Goodreads, I've cooked up a python script to do that - see https://launchpad.net/booxml2csv

Favourite authours off the top of my head include H. Beam Piper, RAH, David Brin and C.J. Cherryh

Joshua Caleb: writer extraordinaire, dedicated web surfer, tech enthusiast, music aficionado, gamer. I have just published Warped & Wired, the first book in my series: The Wryter Chronicles. Find out more

Hello! Another new guy here. I'm read a great variety of books, but I've always enjoyed science fiction. I'm not much of a fantasy fan. I've tried to read a few, but they just don't grab me the way a good space opera does. Anyway, hoping to participate in the monthly book discussions and make new friends here.

Greetings fellow SciFi/Fantasy lovers! I'm soon to be 44 (holy cow, how did I get to be so old?) and have read these genres since I was 9 or 10. Alan Dean Foster was a personal favorite growing up since we share a first name and I am a Flinx lookalike... or at least I was until I got older and he's still in his twenties ; )

Now I'm embarking on another chapter in my life: writing. I've finished my first novel: A Measure of Disorder, and have been shopping it around for the past few months. My current career being graphic design and advertising, I've decided to pursue the whole enchilada myself. The book is being edited and soon after will be published under my company, MAD Design, Inc. I have the first chapter posted in my writing if anyone is interested. It's YA Fantasy, inspired by my daughter.

At any rate, I'm excited to have found this site and this group and look forward to participating in the discussions!

Hi All!
Glad to find so many with the same passion of reading as I have. I'm 33 (I think... I stopped counted), and I've been reading fantasy novels since... way WAY back when! Among my faves are David Eddings' Belgarion series & Tad Williams' Memory Sorrow & Thorn series. I've recently finished up with the Kushiel series, Harry Potter books, Sevenwaters trilogy to mention a few. I'm currently reading Rowan of the Wood by Christine Rose. I hope to find more great books with this group and participate in some interesting discussions! ...Maria

Brian G, here. Sometimes writer, one time actor, and all times reader. Born and raised in the Great White North (that's Canada for those of you who don't know). Currently living near Toronto, but have hopped around my home province of Ontario, and bounced my Canadian arse from here to N.C., Pennsylvania and Victoria, B.C.
With one university english lit course under my belt, I feel more than adequately prepared to take on, vivisect and otherwise analyze modern Fantasy and other Spec. Fiction.

Here's a taste of what I like to read:

Tolkien (The Silmarillion in particular)
Butcher (Just got my hands on Changes)
De Lint (Widdershins, Some Place to Be Flying)
Martin (In the early chapters of A Clash of Kings)

Thoroughly enjoying Jim Butcher's latest installment of the Dresden Files, Changes, which just happened to fall into my lap yesterday. *spoiler alert* Looks like some on the Council (one Senior member in particular) have had enough of the Red Court and are looking to wipe them out completely. That is all.

@ Mayakada: Grin. And which books do we have in common?

For SF or Fantasy with good strong kick-ass female characters, try Elizabeth Moon, Lois McMaster Bujold, or Tanya Huff. I'd like to recommend my own books, especially A Warrior Made, but my books are much more based in characters than they are in plot.

Bujold - The Curse of Chalion, A Civil Campaign. The latter book is the capstone of the Vorkosigan saga.

Huff - The Confederation of Valor series, space opera starring a Marine gunnery sergeant. Also Summon the Keeper, a fantasy novel about a lady whose job it is to keep the thin spots in the world patched together so things don't come through. Her most recent is The Enchantment Emporium.

Moon - The Deed of Paksennarion a fantasy trilogy in the much the same vein as Tolkien, but very distinct. She writes a great deal of space opera, especially the Kylara Vatta series most recently.

Me - Marc Vun Kannon - most of my stuff is listed on my profile.

I recall enjoying Melissa Scott esp Trouble and Her Friends as being right up that alley.

Another way is to just give some particulars of what you like and ask if there is anything like that some people are sure to offer suggestions

Brie

There are some really good female characters out there but you might have to expand outside of fantasy or outside of your comfort zone. If you want to push it, I can suggest the following:

1. Crossover by Joel Shepherd. The heroine in this sf novel is an artificial person who has escaped her government's army and seeks to live a life under a separate political system, but her past catches up to her and she gets involved in helping her adapted country using all of her skills as a soldier. The story is both about what makes up a human and also involves a lot of action. Cassidy takes no prisoners.

2. The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner. The heroine's uncle Mad Duke Tremontaine decides to turn his niece, whose parents need financial assistance, into a swordswoman to upset convention. He also makes her wear men's clothing. The main character, something of a naif, becomes a lot more interesting as the novel progresses.

3. Keeping it Real by Justina Robson. Her heroine is a cyborg, who is part human and part machine and all kickass woman warrior. In this first book, she is acting as a bodyguard for an elf who is receiving death threats. Lots of action and a very intriguing world.

4. Staying Dead by Laura Anne Gilman. Her heroine is a Retriever basically a thief. She is able to use electricity in magical ways to retrieve objects for others. This urban fantasy is a good one.

5 Rhapsody by Elizabeth haydon is a good read. The main character-- Rhapsody is the main character and she is able to kick some butt. Some people have been put off by the authors descriptions of the character but I liked this book a lot.



7. Hammered by Elizabeth Bear. Jenny Casey is an ex soldier who has a prosthetic arm. This first novel was just so good and tight.

8. In Sharon Shinn's Mystic and Rider, the main character is Senneth, a mage. This is a fantasy romance but I think Senneth is a good character and the series is well written

9. Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. Now this is a pretty adventurous book, not for everyone. The main character is an indentured servant who has been trained as both a spy and courtesan, and is a worshipper of the goddess of pleasure and pain. The book is really good as she strives to help her country using all of her training.

David Weber has written a series of military space fighting where the female lead Honor Harrington is a great warrior. The first novel in this series is On Basilisk Station.

I have to disagree with Mark above a little about a couple of the books he recommended to you, not because they are not great, they are but they may not be what you want:

The Curse of Chalion, while a truly terrific book is about an aged warrior who while tutoring a princess has to save a kingdom and help the princess. I do not really think of the princess as a kick ass character. But the book is great.

A Civil Campaign is the last volume in a long Bujold series. Again, Marc is correct its really a great book, but you would be doing yourself a disservice to start this series in book 15. If you want to start reading that series you should read Shards of Honor which is the first book. A sequel of sorts to Shards of Honor is Barrayer. Both feature Cordelia, who is a really great character. Subsequent books in this series feature her son, who is one of the best characters in science fiction.

Hey everyone!

I'm Jay, fantasy reader and writer. A lot of the authors I once enjoyed have passed on (Asprin and Chalker) while others I have simply grown out of, so I'm really thrilled with all of the suggestions I've already spotted here. I'm looking forward to digging into some new books!

I'm also new to Goodreads and still trying to get a handle on how everything works here. I'd be up for making some friends if anyone wants to add me. :)

Brie: I'm a big fan of Sheri Tepper. Start with The Margarets if you don't want to get into her heavier stuff. Cordelia's Honor is the entry-point into Bujold's space operas.

Ello - only stumbled across Goodreads today as I was googling for something to read on holiday. Been a fantasy fan since reading The Hobbit at school! Dabble in a bit of sci-fi sometimes and chew up some 'other category' reading in between. Favourite series is George RR Martin's ASOIAF. I could spend hours on this site - must resist when I'm at work! :-)

Hello all, I'm Paul Guthrie. I've just discovered GoodReads, but I've been reading F&SF since John Campbell was still working. Recent reads include Anathem (Stephenson), A Feast for Crows (Martin) and the latest in the seemingly interminable Wheel of Time, which I am committed to finishing. I have been a scientist most of my career (physics, astronomy, climate, computers) but a few years back I decided to try my hand at writing fiction. I have one completed novel which I'll describe elsewhere once I figure out the community rules on tooting one's own horn...or you could check my profile, if you're curious.

Hi all,

My name is Pieter Vreysen and I've just created my GoodReads profile. I'm a university student from Belgium, currently doing my bachelor thesis in Finland. My field of study is engineering in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). I'm fairly new to scifi and fantasy books, but after reading Foundation and The Name of The wind I'm really getting into these genres. I joined this group in the hopes of getting lots of suggestions of what to read next :-)

Nice to meet you all!

Hello, my name is Rodney Craig. I just started using goodreads on a larger scale. I have a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and am a System's Administrator for a State Agency in Michigan.

I look forward to taking part in the discussions and am looking to add friends with similar interests.

I am old enough to know better.

I love to read, and love science fiction the most, but have gotten out of the habit of prowling the SF aisle in bookstores since they are harder to find these days. Since it's difficult to judge a book by it's cover, I have ended up with a lot of awful books that were glowingly reviewed ... I've joined this group in hopes that I might be directed toward some decent reads. I got turned on to John Scalzi last year, and haven't regretted a word since I laughed my way through that diplomat with flatulence starting an intergalactic incident.

And of course, I don't spend the amount of time in physical bookstores that I used to ... I do a lot of impulse purchasing on amazon, and I am a Kindle1 owner, so I don't even have to fire up the computer to feed my need to read.

My favorite SF authors are Harlan Ellison, Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, Jack Chalker, Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony (when he starts a series, the finishes aren't as good for me), William Gibson, Neal Stephenson ... not necessarily in that order, except well, Ellison is always first.

Hello everyone, I'm 24, 25 in June,I do IT/support at VoIP company in downtown Manhattan, married with a 15 month daughter and can't really complain about my life.

I love reading, always have, I just signed up yesterday and I've already added almost 200 books that I've read but unfortunately most of my books are in storage so I can't check back older books that I read years ago so it's gonna be tough remembering the other 200 book I've read and still own hehe. I have a kindle which I got just over a year ago and that has made it even easier for me to keep up with my books. I read primarily fantasy but also sci fi, I got hooked when I was in the 6th grade, started with the hobbit then the wheel of time then the sword of truth and just kept on going from there.

Hihi! I'm 23 but turning 24 on May6. (Yay!). I love reading since I was little. One of my favorite sci-fi fantasy is Valentine (forgot the author name lol). Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite Author of all time. Spend most of my time watching anime, reading manga, and surfing through forums that I joined. lol

I've been reading fantasy for as long as I can remember and am now in my thirties. Sci-Fi and other sub genres came later, urban fantasy and others, and now I write and talk about books all over the internet. This place will give me another place to chat about some great new books and some old classics from my childhood.

Hi everyone. I'm Sarah, 23 years old. I love, love, love reading, and recently started a job in which I'll be able to read a whole lot more often. Besides reading, I also love cooking, spending time with my honeyman, and gaming (we're doing a Serenity campaign right now...)

I've recently been reading a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite genres. I have the feeling that this group will inspire to try even more! There are still so many authors that I have on my TBR list.

Some of my favorite sci-fi authors are Mercedes Lackey, Ursula le Guin (just finished The Left Hand of Darkness and LOVED it!), and Patrick Rothfuss. And I'm sure that there's many more to come!

Hey, we share a birthday! Except that I'll be 27. Don't know how the time goes so fast!

Welcome :).

Re Gamedoll's favorite being "Valentine"--Would that be Lord Valentine's Castleby Robert Silverberg?

good morning everyone,

My name is Pete Kelly. I am 26 from Philadelphia. I love fantasy and scifi stories. When i was little my older brother showed me for the first time Star wars on tape and I was immediately hooked. I have always had a vivid imagination but it was never until lately that I had a venue to express it. My work Dawn of the shadow available now on kindle soon to be released on to print is my first published work. I have always wanted to release a superhero tale that was my own creation and throughDawn of the shadow i achieved it. I hope so give it a look and i will gladly look at your own work. thanks for reading.

Welcome Sue! That's a fantastic history of the genre you have there. I read Asimov's autobiography when I was in high school (650,000 words... don't ask me, I was a masochist I guess!) and it was very interesting to see how things got rolling in those old magazines and serials.

Welcome to you too Pete! Grats on your work.

Dawn of the shadow

Greetings, my name is Lloyd Williams, I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, own a graphics company, and am a life-long science fiction fan. As a boy I read Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy and became hooked on anything "sci-fi" as it used to be called in those days. I had a book published in November of last year titled Rogue Progeny. I am currently working on the serialization of this book, turning it into a graphic novel. Comics and cartooning are my other passions and working the graphic novel seems to have brought all my interests together. You can see an excerpt of my book, and its cover, which I also designed, at www.rogueprogeny.com.

My name is Mark O. Chapman and I have been writing Science Fiction and Fantasy since High School, long enough now to say over 20 years. I have published one novel(Scout Squad: Going Native) and I have a fantasy novel in the production stages (Tales of the Blue Knight: Becoming a Knight). I just learned about this site and I want to get a better idea of what people are reading. I am interested in not only promoting my books but finding reviews to other books to get some ideas for summer reading. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone is talking about.

Welcome to the new folks!

Hi,

I'm an avid Fantasy reader with some SF as well. These are my two favorite authors that write both:

LE Modesitt Jr.
Anne McCafree

Greetings! Not sure of everything to say, but I've been a fan of space travel and exploration for as long as I knew there was a whole universe beyond our planet. Taking that (and my love of airplanes) into action, I went and picked up an Aerospace Engineering degree. I also have loved to write and tell stories since I was a kid. So it was only natural that I'd go into the business of writing science fiction novels and short stories. Glad to be part of the group, and looking forward to participating!

Some other facts: Born in '75 and live in the middle of nowhere, Kansas. The day job (or as I refer to it, my spare time when I'm not writing) is using the degree to design airplanes.

I'm Liam Sweeny. I'm an author of sci-fi/fantasy novels. I have one out called "Anno Luce," and a second in that series coming out soon.

I couldn't list all of the books I've read, and many were non-fiction, but Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Anne Rice, James Ellroy, Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allen Poe, and others, I've read widely.

Hello!
My name is Tina and I'm 21, soon 22 years old. I'm from Norway, but hoping to move to England in a couple years when I'm finishing college.
Anyway I love Fantasy, always have, always will. But I must sadly say I'm new to the world of books for a reason I don't know.
I have explored Garth Nix's books and found some of them a bit childish so I have moved on to Robert Holdstock.
Thats about it.
But I'm gonna read GRRM's books, Steven Ericson's and Tolkien. And a lot more to come. So I may be young but I'm ambitious;)

Hey all, this is Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of THE RIVER, which I understand was nominated back in March. I am so sorry to have missed the opportunity; we were in the process of selling our house and moving.

I am definitely available for question/answer time if a group/book club studies any of my novels, so I'd be honored if you'd consider me at a later date. THE RIVER definitely has a sci-fi edge--part adventure, part suspense and part techno-thriller.

If you do choose my novel, please email me. I don't always check Goodreads as things can get hectic--and we have another move this fall. :-)

Please note: if I commit to a Q&A, I'll be there with bells on!

My #1 all time favorite fantasy novel is The Mists of Avalon. I am an avid reader of many genres.

Hey, I'm Fred Ludwig (F. A. Ludwig), one of the newest members of Goodreads. I'm a Goodreads Author, and have three books published so far: The Dragon twins, The Voyages of Sara, the sequel, and Aisling's Woods.
My first Sci-Fi is due out this year, along with my second Fantasy.

Hello all,

My name is Guilherme Müller and I'm 24. I've just discovered SciFi and Fantasy books and I love the genres already.

I'm currently a freelance webdesigner living in Curitiba, Brazil. It's a little difficult to find books in english around here (I like to read them in the original language, which is normally english), but nothing that Amazon can't solve.

I just finished reading Dune and already have a lot of books in my to-read list!
