Reviews and Comments
Slow reader. Picky reader. Categories include: History of Religions, Spirituality, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Historical Fiction. For example, Neil Gaiman, but not Terry Pratchett (I do love Good Omens); have never read Lord of the Rings all the way through; Lovecraft, but not Stephen King. Other authors I tend to enjoy: Neil Stephenson, Jeanette Winterson, Richard Powers, and I'm running out of time this evening, so come back later ;-)
