To keep things a little mixed up, today we’ve got the next five What I’m Reading reviews:
6. Sky Coyote / Mendoza in Hollywood – Kage Baker
7. Cyteen – C.J. Cherryh
8. Archangel Protocol – Lyda Morehouse
9. Memory – Lois McMaster Bujold
10. Digital Knight – Ryk Spoor
These reviews were originally written for the rec.arts.sf.written newsgroup. Although originally rather informal productions, their scope and purview quickly grew to become substantially more elaborate. I’ve often thought of reviewing as an attempt to communicate an essentially experiential phenomenon — in other words, I am more interested in describing what it was like to read a novel rather than describing the novel itself. In many ways, therefore, the writing of the WIRs was (and is) an essentially blog-like activity.
Once I’ve finished reposting the WIRs originally posted to rec.arts.sf.written, I’ll continue posting new WIRs as they’re written.
