Nicola Griffth's Ammonit...This is an awesome post. Nicola Griffth's Ammonite does interesting things with gender and family and kick-ass women; so do most of Sheri Tepper's books (though they tend to all read the same after a while). <br /><br />I thought Mary Doria's The Sparrow and its sequel treated religion in a somewhat new light. Esther Friesner's little known but brilliant The Psalms of Herod and its sequel are bleak dystopias that take The Handmaid's Tale a bit further, but in a really cool tangential way. <br /><br />Non-European cultures--me likey China Mountain Zhang<br /><br />I totally dig the Lancasters, as vulgar and disgusting as they are. Also can never get enough GGK. I could go on and on.<br /><br />Nice blogging! I look forward to more.Luisa Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310698422276446909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318187171074555338.post-820583859882930032009-04-17T09:30:00.000-06:002009-04-17T09:30:00.000-06:00I just got a hold of The Darkness that Comes Befor...I just got a hold of The Darkness that Comes Before, and it's pretty awesome. I had thought that Chris had told me it had something to do with the main character being the valiant hero type, getting beaten up by a whore and deciding to go to the dark side, but I think he might have been talking about something else. Anyway, it is still good. I was just confused by the lack of prototypical heroes.<br /><br />-MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
