The Big Read
Wednesday, April 16th, 2003 21:40I finally decided on my most-loved book for The Big Read.
I nominated "Last Call" by Tim Powers, which was a revelation when I first picked it up at the library, more or less at random. So original, so in tune with all my interests, so unlike those everlasting and interchangeable fantasy series that I read totally out of sequence depending on what was on the sf shelves at the library when I went in.
A lot of the folks on the MF books boards have been nominating children's books, as it is a poll of books you loved, not of the world's greatest literature. However, if I went that way, I would be torn between so many: Swallowdale (or one of the other Swallows & Amazons books), the Dark is Rising sequence, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, the Phoenix and the Carpet . . . the list could go on and on.
