I've heard good things on LJ about [livejournal.com profile] pameladean's Tam Lin, but I haven't read it yet. I should remember to do that.

I love The Sparrow, and I'm also fond of the sequel. It's ...mind-blowing, sad, beautiful. I love the specificity of the biology and ecology of the planet, the character dynamics. It's really not like any other book I've read. It's one of a very few books that I've actually bought three times.

You read a lot of books that I've enjoyed, so I'm going to drop a rec here: Set This House In Order by Matt Ruff. It won the Tiptree award. It's an incredible book, and I'd strongly recommend that you not read any reviews or commentary about it before you read it.

(If you've already read it and possted about it on LJ -- sorry!)
