Wow! Thanks. Part of my biggest problem in trying out new fiction is that... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 06/12/2009 08:46:29 PM
I just can't do a new series but I don't know what stand-alone books are worth reading. I just don't have the time right now for a two or three book series but I can probably sneak in the occasional single novel. I'll definitely be using this list. Thanks again.

Oh, and since I urged a few in another thread to read more standalones, here's a list of them Larry - 06/12/2009 06:53:21 AM 1127 Views
You didn't mention Perdido Street Station. I'm shocked! *NM* Ghavrel - 06/12/2009 07:21:05 AM 262 Views
I thought The Scar was a better story Larry - 06/12/2009 07:40:38 AM 649 Views
I find that surprising. Ghavrel - 06/12/2009 08:58:41 AM 635 Views

Exactly. *NM* jh - 06/12/2009 06:20:40 PM 262 Views
It's a stronger story Larry - 06/12/2009 09:13:40 PM 615 Views
The Scar is weaker. Aeryn - 06/12/2009 11:24:47 PM 608 Views
Perhaps. jh - 06/12/2009 11:38:20 PM 629 Views
Standalones sounds good *bookmarks* *NM* ironclad - 06/12/2009 11:59:12 AM 273 Views
I am disappointed Camilla - 06/12/2009 01:34:15 PM 639 Views
Because it wasn't as enjoyable as the 50 I did list? Larry - 06/12/2009 09:11:05 PM 595 Views
I wouldn't hesitate to rate it above The Scar for example. Camilla - 06/12/2009 09:13:23 PM 562 Views
And I wouldn't Larry - 06/12/2009 09:15:14 PM 602 Views

yikes... only read 3 of them... *NM* temeraire - 07/12/2009 07:52:15 AM 262 Views
All of four, though a few of those are wish-list/ haven't read. *NM* rebelaessedai - 07/12/2009 08:07:28 PM 264 Views
