Robot Love

[trinityofone]

'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. :)

Hm. I seem to remember you not really liking Elizabeth Peters (although was that just the Vicky Bliss books?) or I'd rec Seeing a Large Cat, one of a series set in Victorian Egypt, about an Egyptologist family. I love this one because Ramses, the protagonist's son, really starts to come into his own and he's sixteen and awesome and there's mystery and archaeology and horses and general awesomeness.

So I will instead say The Silver Pigs, by Lindsay Davis, a different historical detective story, this one about a private eye in Flavian Rome. Humor and great historical detail; first in the series.

Anti-rec: Sister Carrie, which you should not even touch unless you are moving it aside to make room for a book that sucks less.

I was forced to read Sister Carrie in high school and I'm still mad about it. Ugh!
