Thanks for the recommendation for Jo Walton's "What makes This Book So Great". I found it very interesting both in what she included (tons of Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold, and Steven Brust), and what seemed to be missing from a book subtitled "Re-Reading the Classics of Science Fiction and Fantasy". I particularly enjoyed her discussions of the joys of re-reading, and have added (Oh! The joy!) more books to my TBR. Definitely a worthwhile read.
