Because I'm not enough of a geek yet.

[squeequeg]

Actually, that subject line's a lie. I tested myself on the Geek Test (at http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html) and ended up a Major Geek with a score in the mid-40s. Impressive, considering my computer and math skills are close to nil.

So. I have a lot of books on my "to read" list. But I need more.

Recommendations, anyone? What do you think I should have read by now in my brilliant career? What's on your bedside table? What's been stuck in your head for a while now? Fantasy and science fiction are my usual genre of choice for fun reading, but I'll experiment gladly.

You know, I just realized this is an inverse of sigerson's most recent post. Dammit, twin, get outta my head!

Eventually I may follow suit and post some recommendations as well. But right now I just want to see what's out there, what I've missed.

I am passionately fond of Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog, and I very much enjoyed Passage and The Doomsday Book.

I love Willis. Ellinor, if you haven't read To Say Nothing of the Dog, you should sometime. I'll even mail you my copy if you want.

When will her next book be out? (Or are we talking a George R. R. Martin-ish timescale between books?)
