Uber User Posts: 1465 Location: The Netherlands | jontlaw - 2016-09-07 6:10 AM Thanks for that. Since we were on the topic, I double checked my shelf and found a few more that I have by Bradbury, but you/we don't. I couple of them may be less SF than just fiction, but I want to toss them out there. Let's All Kill Constance We'll Always Have Paris Green Shadows, White Whale Cat's Pajamas Thanks The top one is apparently a non-genre novel. The rest is in. | ||

Member Posts: 19 Location: Wales | Can you add some books by Jon Courtenay Grimwood please? They all belong to a very loose series called Cyber Noir, and the books are: neoAddix (1997) Lucifer's Dragon (1998) reMix (1999) redRobe (2000) RedRobe is already in the database, but as a standalone book. | ||

Regular Posts: 99 Location: Belgium | Could you please add The Push by Dave Hutchinson? It's a hard SF novel from 2009. I just finished Europe In Autumn, and The Push is going firmly on my TBR. | ||

I just finished Europe In Autumn, and The Push is going firmly on my TBR. It is in. Might be a bit hard to get hold of though. It looks like a limited edition to me. | ||

Regular Posts: 99 Location: Belgium | Yes indeed, I've noticed the prices for second hand copies are quite steep. It's also a novella, so I guess I'll drop it for now, and wait for it to be published again, somewhere, sometime... | ||

Set your level up to 100 or 150, and then you'll be able to add these. | ||

Regular Posts: 99 Location: Belgium | Can you add 'Armageddon In Retrospect' by Kurt Vonnegut? I'm not sure it qualifies for WWE. It's a collection of short stories, one speech and a biographical introduction on Kurt by his son Mark. Only one of the stories is explicitly speculative (it has a time machine). The rest does read as an excellent (partly nonfictional) companion to Slaughterhouse-Five, as certain stories deal with the bombing of Dresden too. It was published a year after Kurt's death. | ||

Regular Posts: 99 Location: Belgium | Just finished it. Also the title story is firmly speculative, and a case can be made for "The Unicorn Trap" too. "Great Day", the story with the time machine, is set in 2037. | ||

Member Posts: 15 | I have a few for the roll your own reading challenge women of genre fiction: Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude The Little Woods and The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman Julia Vanishes by Catherine Egan The Last One by Alexandra Oliva (which may be a bit iffy for genre fiction but I think it's dark enough to appease post apocalypse horror fans - I leave that decision up to you guys) Thanks! | ||

Your batch is a complicated one. Lots of people not in the database. I added the Wallace but I don't have time to sort the others out today. Will look at it next week. | ||

Member Posts: 30 | For the Tor.com short fiction challenge, could you add the new N.K. Jemisin story "The City Born Great"? http://www.tor.com/2016/09/28/the-city-born-great/ (I didn't know whether to request it or whether the new stories would be added as par for the course?) | ||

Ok all of of these are in now except The Little Woods. I put that one up for discussion in the uberuser forum. Don't really see much in the way of speculative content in the description. | ||

Don't really see much in the way of speculative content in the description. In retrospect, LITTLE WOODS is much more thriller/mystery. There's a vague hint of supernatural but likely not enough to qualify it. Thanks again for entering the rest Edited by BeckyLeJ 2016-10-01 4:18 PM | ||
