(Imagine that this page is blackened in protest
. I don't use Netscape.)
This page under continual drastic overhaul.
Kids' books, or why my worldview is so warped.

level!)
This page subject to random spontaneous change...
These are in vaguely chronological order according to when I read
them. Very vaguely. They are all books that I would go out and buy
right now if I didn't still own them, but I won't try to vouch for
their literary merit.
- The Hobbit etc. (J.R.R.
Tolkien)
- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe etc. (C.S. Lewis)
- Watership Down (Richard Adams)
- The King of the Golden River (short story)
- The Dark is Rising series (Susan Cooper)
- Harper Hall trilogy (Anne McCaffrey)
- Support Your Local Wizard (Diane
Duane)
More random books
- I, Robot (Asimov) ...Strong influence on the genre.
- Hani series, Downbelow Station, etc (Cherryh) ...Great aliens.
- Uplift War series (Brin) ...Great aliens.
- First Amber series (Zelazny) ...Twists.
MIT Science Fiction Society's "card catalog", the pinkdex, might also be
useful.
I also have a puppeteer...
