Then she should stay away from MZB's Darkover novels. Those became really anti-man as it progressed. *NM* Bookwyrm Send a noteboard - 27/02/2011 08:02:58 AM

Looking for suggestions to introduce my wife to sci fi fantasy Sir Tybalt - 26/02/2011 12:39:39 AM 1290 Views
Hmm ... Darth_Katie - 26/02/2011 02:39:57 AM 911 Views
American Gods is a good idea. And go to other Gaiman from there. Legolas - 26/02/2011 12:43:42 PM 907 Views
IMO, you can't go wrong with Neil Gaiman's works, esp his collab with Terry Pratchett: Good Omens. *NM* Bookwyrm - 27/02/2011 08:04:29 AM 492 Views
How about Mists of Avalon by Zimmer? everynametaken - 26/02/2011 03:38:34 AM 1001 Views
Not so much "female" perspective as "feminist". It's a great book, but doesn't make much of men. *NM* Legolas - 26/02/2011 12:31:40 PM 417 Views

Mists of Avalon is pretty awesome *NM* beetnemesis - 28/02/2011 05:47:37 PM 420 Views
I second that. *NM* Aeryn - 01/03/2011 12:10:15 AM 417 Views
Try coupons. Housewives LOVE them some coupons. *NM* Cannoli - 26/02/2011 04:52:25 AM 543 Views
Not sure what to say here, my wife DOES love coupons! *NM* Sir Tybalt - 26/02/2011 03:52:23 PM 439 Views
I think The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb would be a good start Dark Knight - 26/02/2011 07:01:05 AM 819 Views
I would rather recommend Hobb's second trilogy "The Liveship Traders" instead ursidae - 26/02/2011 09:47:51 AM 1054 Views
...the second trilogy is still part of the overall story. May as well start from the beginning. *NM* Missa Sedai - 28/02/2011 08:24:42 PM 516 Views
try orson scott card's enchantment. for an intro, way better than ender's game. temeraire - 26/02/2011 02:46:27 PM 858 Views
Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate is a lovely start. Rebekah - 26/02/2011 03:01:41 PM 838 Views
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Sir Tybalt - 26/02/2011 04:02:27 PM 993 Views
Otherland by Tad Willaims. Brilliant mix of sci-fi and fantasy, all set in near-future or alt Earth. Bookwyrm - 27/02/2011 08:09:21 AM 920 Views
Based on the books you say she enjoys already... Werthead - 27/02/2011 01:09:16 AM 871 Views
Adding to the other good suggestions. Seriana Sedai - 27/02/2011 10:37:35 AM 1010 Views
Maybe Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell? *NM* beetnemesis - 28/02/2011 05:48:14 PM 396 Views
If she likes Pride and Prejudice, this is a fabulous suggestion. *NM* Darth_Katie - 28/02/2011 06:25:18 PM 395 Views
Spin by Robert Wilson random thoughts - 28/02/2011 07:33:52 PM 837 Views
How about Jack Vance's Lyonesse series? *NM* Helene - 01/03/2011 03:21:08 PM 428 Views
