Good writers are also good readers. Here you'll find a list of my favorite novels. (If only I could put more Christian novels here, but then it's the lack of Christian fiction I enjoy that drives me to write my own.)

#2 | The Diamond Age 1995 | Neal Stephenson |

Other books that have made the list since 2009:
peaked #6 | Kitty Norville 2000s series | Carrie Vaughn |
peaked #9 | Fahreinheit 451 1953 | Ray Bradbury |
peaked #10 | Demon 2007 | Tosca Lee |
peaked #11 | A Clockwork Orange 1962 | Anthony Burgess |
peaked #12 | Dragons in Our Midst 2000s series | Bryan Davis |
The list is heavily Sci-Fi/ Fantasy. Good worldbuilding, filtered through the experiences of unique characters, is paramount to my enjoyment of a novel. If your setting is a real place in the real world... I'd rather read a good history book about the place. I often use TV Tropes to discover a lot of new work - based on their plots and the elements of the story. Sometimes I'll see what's won awards. I've also read a lot from book clubs (such as The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August). I'd like to read more free e-books. The time for that, for now, is going to the work on Critique Circle
.
While I'm at it, in 2022, I'll update my list of favorite TV shows. Many of my tastes in novels also apply here. I'm watching fewer of them than I used to, so this list doesn't change as often.
