TBR Pile: The first posting


Heres a new feature, its where we list all the books that we've had land and you the readers get to pick the order in which they're read, we'll update this every so often.

If theres a book that you want reviewed quicker than any other send us a mail to the usual addy: drosdelnoch (at) hotmail (dot) com and with each successive vote per title it gets moved up the pile to hit the top spot.

We thought it would be a handy feature and means that the books that you want to know about are dealt with first.

We've listed by catagory and then alphabetically so that it should hopefully make it easier for you to find the authors that interest you.

Now without further ado, the current list:

For some reason I assumed everything in the TBR pile would be newly published. Having seen that's not the case, I'd be interested in seeing what other people thought of Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men.

Alongside that Poul Anderson's Tau Zero looks fairly interesting.

Hi Andrew,
Some of the books have been reissued by Gollancz in new bindings so we wanted to tackle them as theyre considered "modern greats." Thought it would be a good thing as at times some of the older titles that are worth the readers time don't get as much of a look in as they should.

My vote's for Jaine's 'Consorts of Heaven' first [no bias there then :-)] and then China's 'The City and The City' and then Max Frie's 'The Stranger' [can't think why I'd want you to read them either really *innocent face*]Plus Sarah's 'The Poison Garden'
