I'm a lover of speculative fiction- and I am not running out of old and new books to read. There are plenty of choices and varieties. I think Elizabeth Bear (who will always be dear to my heart for Carnival and New Amsterdam) was just giving a little lecture to SF authors to "cheer up dammit!". And Charles Stross' blog that SF might be getting lost in the e-libraries of the world make me think- why is that so bad? I find new books and authors by following discussions on sites like this, and by doing searches in many, many review sites. I have read and loved a wide variety of spec fic- Connie Willis, Mary Doria Russell, Kage Baker, Daniel Suarez (Daemon), Jasper Fforde, F Paul Wilson, Kristine Katherine Rusch, Richard K Morgan, Sean McMullen, George RR Martin, Ian Tregillis, Amanda Downum, Neil Gaiman, Mira Grant, Harry Connolly, blah blah blah. Not running out of possibilities any time soon.
