Another year gone by since last time already, what are your top ten reads this year?
My reading rate is still pretty low but I've enjoyed quite a few re-reads (which I've excluded from my list). They've included such classics as "I have always lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson, "Teatro Grostesco" by Thomas Ligotti, "The King of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany and, most recently, "The Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov.
1) The World in Winter - John Christopher
2) The Echo - James Smythe
3) Hanted Castles - Ray Russell
4) The Fire Upon the Deep - Vernor Vinge
5) Fantasms and Magics - Jack Vance
6) The Case Against Satan - Ray Russell
7) X's for Eyes - Laird Barron
8) The Road Through the Wall - Shirley Jackson
9) Timequake - Kurt Vonegut
10) We who are about to... - Joanna Russ
Biggest disappointment of the year: Lavondyss - Robert Holdstock
