For number two, and not sure just how much romance you are looking for, is the "Symphony of Ages" series by Elizabeth Haydon. I read the first three books, and thoroughly enjoyed the series. I am not one for romance in stories, but the element was there within this series.

"Blue Guitar" by the Cowboy Junkies

"Palimpsest" by Catherynne M. Valente "Eunoia" by Christian Bök

"The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco was mine. I really had high hopes, but after 100 pages, my brain hurt, and it was too hard to figure out what was all being said and happening.

"The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle should fit the bill. "A Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge kind of shows you other aliens. Also the Uplift Series (six books) by David Brin.

"A Song for Arbonne", "Tigana", and "The Lions of Al-Rassan" all by Guy Gavriel Kay. All separate, stand-alone novels. "Elantris" by Brandon Sanderson. "The Curse of Chalion", though the first books of a series, can be read as a stand-alone. It's by Lois McMaster-Bujold. There are...

“Icefields” by Thomas Wharton.

I read "Black Juice" a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed it. I think she displayed a pretty good range of styles within this collection. I recently read her first novel "Tender Morsels". Didn't turn out as good. I wanted to like it, but it was tough to get through. Much of what she...

"A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon might be worth checking out. It centers mostly around the father, but his wife, son, and daughter, and their relationships with one another figure prominently.

NO, NO, NO!!! Please don't use one of my favorite bands to compare a sci-fi writer that I very much dislike! (And though I honestly feel this way, this should not be taken as me being seriously offended. I laughed when I read your post.) I would second the idea of Clarke's "Jonathan...

The person that I sent a book to got it. They sent me a PM. By the way, hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

Amazon sent mine yesterday, though I had been told it wouldn't show up until after Christmas. Since I have Prime shipping, it should be there before the end of the week. Also, on the other side of this, I got my gift yesterday! Not sure if we are supposed to say who our Secret Santa is or...

Boy, I like the cover of Death Cab for Cutie's "Narrow Stairs". And Wolf Parade's "At Mount Zoomer" reminds of something that came out of the Italian prog rock scene in the early 70's.

That's what I did. Didn't work. :sad:

Uh yeah. Having a problem with that. I tried looking up all the posts by the person I have through the option on the member list, or by clicking on their name and using that option in the drop down. Both only produced 20% of the person's posts. Is this something I should be posting in the...

I have read some of the Amos Walker series by Loren D. Estleman. They are set in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs (where I grew up). In one of the books, Amos spends some time getting his bearings in a K-Mart parking lot that I had been in many times when I was younger. My mother shopped...

I have read some of Loren D. Estleman's "Amos Walker" series that might fit the bill. Mind you, this is coming from someone that doesn't really like mysteries. I read them because of their setting (Detroit). But in each book you are never told who committed the crime until the end (or near...

I will be picking this up soon, too. I went to a book signing of Gaiman's a year and a half ago, and he read one of the chapters of this book in the form that it was at the time (still in the process of writing it). While reading it, he said he was looking for reactions from the audience to...

That album is great. There is also the song "5 & 1/2 Minute Hallway". Poe is Danielewski's sister. I think I heard that they toured the US together promoting both the book and album.
