'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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 agree, they can be scary - but Gibson's more recent books aren't so bad (you may remember my mad love for Pattern Recognition, and Spook County wasn't bad). They're basically mainstream, not too cyberpunky. And as [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma says, Snow Crash is really not that intimidating, either; it's definitely worth reading.
