Popcorn! Linnea Sinclair and Peter David  
I am using this opportunity to present something somewhat different: instead of authors that are worth picking up and holding on to (depending on your tastes, of course), I'll cover a few who qualify as popcorn: light fare, tasty, but with no lasting content.

Review: Hilari Bell  
So LJ is not crashing on me today, hence I shall attempt to catch up on reviews. This is a recent author, who's done some nice things in science fiction and in fantasy.

Review: James Barclay  
And another one! This time, it's straight fantasy, with an epic setting and gritty characters.

Review: Leo Frankowski  
Sorry about the longer than usual delay. I blame appendicitis, and don't recommend it to anyone else,no matter how good an excuse it might provide. I'll be writing a few more reviews than usual, in order to catch up - I think I'm pretty close to 100 authors by now, frighteningly enough. This author does science ficiton, and a reasonable job of it.

Review: Frank Herbert  
This time around, I'm discussing an author who is very well known for one series, but has actually produced other things that are worth reading as well (or instead).

Review: Simon R. Green  
Late, but a review nonetheless! This author is relatively well known, and has produced both fantasy and science fiction.

Review: Nicolas Stewart Gray  
Another less known author, from back when. This one has produced a few pieces of very nice fantasy, taking new looks at old forms.

Review: Robert Sheckley  
And since i'm on a roll, I'll try to catch up by tossing another author in the ring. One of the old school science fiction writers, with a knack for interesting situations.

Review: Fredrick Brown  
Catching up, I hope. This author is another oldie but goodie, with some rather biting humor, typically  in the science fiction genre.

Review: Robert Silverberg  
I still have some backlog to deal with, but here's a review! This author is one of the older school writers, with some interesting ideas and a mix of fantasy and science fiction.

Review: L. E. Modesit, and a question  
So, the question first, for those of my readers who may happen to be computer gamers with more experience than I.


And now the author, who is fairly well known, and has done some interesting fantasy, as well as some more variable sci-fi.

I'm late. I've been working, and had busy weekends. Have many reviews to make up for it.

Review: H.P. Lovecraft  
I'm aware that this author is relatively well known, but that's only for a portion of his work - he didn't produce just horror, and I'll discuss some of the other works here.

Review: Rudy Rucker  
Never mind the scheduling chit-chat. Time for a review! This author has mostly focused on science fiction, with a particular interest in matters of programming and consciousness.

Review: Patricia Kennealy  
And another review, to make up for missing last week. This author has mostly written books with a Celtic motif, an interesting blend of science fiction and fantasy.

Review: Walter M. Miller Jr.  
Yes, I'm late. But I have enough reviews to make up for it! This time around, I'll discuss one of the old science fiction classics, fairly well known for one of his books, who has also produced some very nice other pieces.

Review: J. V. Jones  
Sorry about the slowdown - work is busy, and you're getting new reviews anyway! This author has done some very nice fantasy epics, with many plots and sides involved.

Catching up: Reviews!  
So LJ decided not to like me, I was busy writing other things, and I was low on books. Still, I've got a nice collection of books to write about, and I hope to get back to normal. Multiple authors below.

Old review: Jack Vance  
Huzzah! Another post without the death of LJ. I think I know what to do now... Anyway, this is another of the old school writers, with a mix of fantasy and science fiction themes both. Neat ideas, occasionaly flat characters, and lots of influence on later work - including the entire magic system used in Dungeons and Dragons.

Review: Spider Robinson  
This week's author is fairly well known, and has produced quite a few books. Overall, the short stories are quite enjoyable, while the rest depends on ones tastes.
