TAD Bookgasm Review & Explorations Top 10 List

Posted on January 2, 2007    Posted by John Scalzi

Last week, the lit site Bookgasm listed The Android’s Dream as one of their top five science fiction books of 2006; now they’ve posted the actual review of the book. Unsurprisingly, given the previous accolade, it’s a pretty nice review:

John Scalzi has created a book that’s as thrilling as Robert Ludlum in his prime, with a gentle wit and biting sarcastic tinge that makes the entire book a joy to read.

Groovy. TAD also makes another 2006 science fiction “Best Of” list, this one from Barnes & Noble’s Explorations site (their place to promote science fiction and fantasy). Also on the list are Infoquake, from David Louis Edelman, who is looking like a serious potential Campbell nominee at this point, and Shriek: An Afterword by Jeff VanderMeer. Excellent.

Update, 4:08pm — Oh, and it appears The Ghost Brigades has made SF Signal’s “Best of 2006” list. w00t!

Yes, it seems to be self-promotingish sort of day here on Whatever. Some days it’s gonna be like that.
