A meme. How odd.

[jbsegal]

Ok, I almost never (EDIT: 13ish in 6+ years?) post memes.
I kinda had to do this one... (EDIT: again...)

Based on the lj interests lists of those who share my more unusual interests, the interests suggestion meme thinks I might be interested in

Connie Willis: some good, most meh. Check out _D.A._ at the library; if you like it, you might like Willis.

I highly recommend _To Say Nothing of the Dog_ as a good starting point for Connie Willis.

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

Me too - To Say Nothing of the Dog and The Doomsday Book are very cool.

(D.A. was a fun read, and I love a lot of Connie Willis, but that one was a little too young adult cliche for me.)

I've just read Bellweather, To Say Nothing of the Dog and The Doomsday Book. I liked the latter two quite a lot, the first one not so much.

To Say Nothing of the Dog and The Doomsday Book are very cool.

Those are the two I liked.

I really liked the two Connie Willis novels I've read, bellweather and To Say Nothing of the Dog. Cally has read more, and likes her a lot.

What has NYU SubGenius Alliance accomplished?

[jostajam.livejournal.com]

Hey I'm much, much better than any silly text based computer game!!!

Good Willis is very good (And yes, Bellweather, To Say Nothing of the Dog, and The Doomsday Book do come to mind here).

At her best, she combines cool storytelling and humor (all of the above, including Doomsday book, despite its, um, other stuff). At her worst (Lincoln's Dreams, certainly. Not impressed with Passage either.), she bores me.

So where's the link to whatever gave you these results?

If you go to the 1st time I posted this, the code's in that version.
