Sarai? She's an African American sci-fi/fantasy author out of chicago. Her new book is "Choosing Deceit" from her Shun-Ur series. www.srsarai.com or www.shun-ur.com thx for looking out for the Black fantasy crowd too. i think we sometimes are seen as oddballs for reading this genre.

I haven't been reading in the fantasy genre these past years, but now I finally have some time to get back to it and I'll definitely be picking some of these up. I'm halfway through The Orphan's Tales now. I stayed up quite late last night reading it... didn't get any work done because I had to finish part one. :) Really glad to have this list.

A friend of mine told me about Octavia Butler and I just have to getmy hands on one of her books when I have more time. Would you recommend <i>Wild Seed</i> for an introduction to Butler's universe, or does the book read better when you're already acquainted with her style? Thanks for putting this list together.

I have or have read books by most of these folks, but there are at least three who are new to me. My budget's gonna take a beating, but I thank you. Exxxcellent.

Also, I saw the latest Doctor Who Christmas special yesterday and it made me think thinky thoughts. Then I read part 2 of the roundtable, where Wendy says "Is it actually a race issue or a bad plotting issue?" Ooh, yes - Russell, when are you going to start <i>paying attention</i>? I want to write about it but it's too Off Topic (also, spoilers). Thanks for collating the recommendations!
