'Cause I've clearly not been making the best reading material decisions lately, two book-related questions for y'all:

1. Do you know of any books that feature human-robot/android/cyborg/whatever romances? The only thing I can think of is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? but I know there must be others. Robot/robot love would also be interesting, I think.

2. Stealing an idea from

siegeofangels, rec me a book or books that starts with the same letter as your username. No serial killers, plz. Or, okay, no serial killer books unless they're really good. I'll rec one back, too, if you like. :)

I've been (very slowly) working my way through those Asimov books. Not much robot lovin' yet, but maybe I just have to be patient? I downloaded the McHugh—thanks!

I have Woman on the Edge of Time, but haven't read it yet. (Soooooooo many books, but never enough!) I did suggest Whiteout to you, but I haven't read it. (The 40-year-old guy my mom tried to set me up with is the guy who's writing the screenplay for it.) I liked Watching the English very much. :)

Recs. Gonna do a few Ws, 'cause if I have to do Ts all through here, that'll get old. I'd recommend World War Z, which I have already talked about enthusiastically here. Also, Wonder Boys is a lot of fun. And What Do You Care What Other People Think? by Richard Feynman. <3

I need to re-read the Asimov series, actually; I'm not sure I ever read them all, and definitely not properly in sequence. The one I mentioned is later in the series, anyway.

I think you'd like Whiteout! I am a big fan, and I'm looking forward to the film although I'm sure it'll sex her up and I think they took out the second major female character, but WHATEVER. I TAKE WHAT I CAN GET.

Hahaha, I nearly recommended the Feynman to you! Only I was pretty sure you were the one who reviewed them first. It *is* great, definitely. Wonder Boys is Chabon, right? I want to read more of his. And World War Z sounded awesome - I wanted to read the manual, too. Zombies ftw!
