We Read Science Fiction

Well folks, I’ve finally broken down and purchased wereadscifi.com to replace the previous domain of ireadscifi.com. I know it’s a small change, but I wanted the domain to reflect the fact that while I write most of the reviews (you’re welcome to submit some too BTW) this really is a place where we want to [...]

In the past 2 weeks I’ve had 3 separate requests to review an author’s book. This seems to be coupled with the fact that there has been a 2-3x increase in the number of daily readers and a 2x increase in our RSS subscription. Cool!

Maybe you thought I was sympathizing with the American screen writers union, or in the hospital… or something, but the truth is that I’ve been reading. A lot. So much so that I haven’t found time to finish my top 10 list, or write here, or get my Christmas cards out.
Sorry about that.
In a few [...]

We’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.3, but if you find anything that looks like it’s not working properly please let us know. A couple of the plugins used here aren’t explicitly compatible with the new release, but they seem to work fine.

Over the next two or three eight to ten weeks months I’m going to discuss my 10 favourite science fiction novels. Considering I’m already referring to these while reviewing other books, this will probably help you interpret my reviews while also giving you a checklist for “Must Read” stories.
