I’ve not bought many new SF or fantasy books in the last three or so years and I’m sure there’s a lot of good material I’ve missed. Now, obviously I will be rushing to the bookshops to buy the complete Stephanie Meyer, but what else have I missed that is held in high regard?

Here’s a list of books that have been recommended to me that I can remember…

Older

• Joe Hill – 20th Century Ghosts
• Kelly Link – Magic For Beginners (how have I not read this yet?!)
• David Marusek – Counting Heads
• Ian McDonald – River of Gods
• Geoff Ryman – Air
• Charles Stross – Accelerando
• Peter Watts – Blindsight

2007

• William Gibson – Spook Country
• M. John Harrison – Nova Swing
• Cormac McCarthy – The Road
• China Miéville – Un Lun Dun
• Richard Morgan – Black Man
• Sarah Hall – The Carhullan Army

2008

• Stephen Baxter – Flood
• Nick Harkaway – The Gone-Away World
• Ian R. MacLeod – Song of Time
• Ken MacLeod – The Execution Channel
• Ian McDonald – Brasyl
• Richard Morgan – The Steel Remains
• Alastair Reynolds – House of Suns
• Neal Stephenson – Anathem

2009

• Paolo Bacigalupi – The Wind-Up Girl
• Stephen Baxter – Ark
• Anne Berry – The Hungry Ghosts
• Ursula le Guin – Lavinia
• Jonathan Littell – The Kindly Ones
• China Miéville – The City & the City
• Patrick Ness – The Knife of Never Letting Go
• Adam Roberts  – Yellow Blue Tibia
• Kim Stanley Robinson – Galileo’s Dream
• Ellis Sharp – Dead Iraqis: Selected Short Stories
• Bruce Sterling – The Caryatids
• Conrad Williams – One

More recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

(Though given that I can’t read everything I’d prefer to hear about the novels you thought were great or particularly important rather than merely good. I’d like to try reading some books published in 2010 as well, yes?)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a piece of Friday flash fiction. I hope to post another entry later in the day explaining why. For the time being, here is another story that is technically too long to be flash, clocking in at 1,171 words.
