Read @vicorva s lovely _Space Dragons: Luxorian's Crew_

Cranky dragon discovers that not all humans suck.

Interesting worlds, complex characters. My only complaint is that it ends! I hope there's more coming!

Plus a Cosmic Horror that lives up to its name! Ick! Nasty!

Oh cool, a list I hate even more than the NYT 100 best books of the 21st Century list. I agree with maybe 20 of these. Another 5 or so I look forward to reading. Where’s Sheri Tepper, you cowards?!? James Tiptree Jr? Vonda McIntyre? Lois Bujold? Élisabeth Vonarburg?

Brilliant world building and an excellent take on an alien culture, truly original and influential space opera. #SciFi #SFbooks #VernorVinge
Some excellent original ideas and an interesting view of a distant future in this space opera. Sadly the dialogue isn't great and a number of characters are annoying. #SciFi #SFbooks
Can heartily recommend this excellent bit of Space Opera. #SciFi #SFbooks #VernorVinge

I watched Gentlemen Broncos last night and was tickled to see this PKD cover art used in the opening credits.

This was my first book by Michael Swanwick, and it was a doozy. Really outstanding worldbuilding. Reminds me of Jeff Noon, Jeff VanderMeer, China Mieville, and J. G. Ballard, to name a few.

I am certainly intrigued, enough to devour another of his novels soon. Any recommendations? I like weird reality-questioning stuff along the lines of Philip K. Dick, the sort of thing people call "dreampunk" these days.

Same old same old, unless you're a real fan of Aliens in which case it's actually quite good. #SciFi #SFbooks #Aliens
