pizzakarin - 2016-01-13 4:01 PM

While I don't think I have any more challenges in me this year (but who knows, maybe I'll find myself reading at least three), I did go tag my two favorite weird books from last year:

* Mort(e) by Robert Repino - which I didn't love, but going into it with the mindset of reading bizarro fiction would have made it better
* If Then by Mathew de Abitua - my favorite slipstream, military alt history, benevolent overlord algorithm, weird biostuff, exosuit, and so on book of 2015

Any feelings out there on whether Rudy Rucker's Ware tetrology counts? I've read Software and am into Wetware and it definitely has a weird vibe.


Come on, pizzakarin. Join up. At least be a Resident of Arkham.
I think I was a bit late out of the gate to attract many challengees.
One good thing about weird titles -- they almost all serves as titles on other challenges as well.
And I don't know Rucker's books. But given what I read about The New Weird, the category can be made very inclusive.
