link: Locus Online: Magazine: February 2010: 2009 Recommended Reading List
This recommended reading list, published in Locus Magazine’s February 2010 issue, is a consensus by Locus editors and reviewers — Liza Groen Trombi, Gary K. Wolfe, Jonathan Strahan, Faren Miller, Russell Letson, Paul Witcover, Graham Sleight, Carolyn Cushman, Adrienne Martini, Tim Pratt, Karen Haber, and Rich Horton — with inputs from outside reviewers, other professionals, other lists, etc. Essays by many of these contributors, highlighting their particular favorite books and stories, are published in the February issue.
Nice to see Under the Dome, This is Not a Game, Avilion, Unseen Academicals, and The Manual of Detection getting a nod especially as all of them bar Avilion made it into The Reads 2009 and Robert Holdstock had special mention for Mythago Wood. Good to know my taste isn’t that far off then.
And books I’m sorry I didn’t get around to include Ark, Yellow Blue Tidia, Galileo’s Dream, The City & The City, The Ask and Answer, Leviathan, The Windup Girl, Soulless, The Adamantine Palace, Oceanic Song of the Dying Earth and Poe. Though there is still 11 months left of the year!
Any books you’re glad they made it on the list? Any you want to read?
