'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 just read that one! I really liked it. Here are some other Ps I've enjoyed:

The President's Daughter by Ellen Emerson White -- Great YA novel about a girl whose mom becomes president.
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi -- Fabulous pair of graphic novels about growing up in Iran.
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder -- First in a trilogy of silly-but-fun novels about magic and espionage and stuff.
Paradise News by David Lodge -- Wonderful English humor.
Pawn in Frankincense by Dorothy Dunnett -- My favorite of the Lymond books, although they really should be read in order, starting with The Game of Kings.
The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby -- And finally, a sort of meta-rec, in which Nick Hornby writes about what he's reading.

Enjoy! :)
