These are books I read before I ever started writing reviews for my website. Maybe eventually I'll reread some of them and write proper reviews, but probably not all of them. But I still want to at least mention as many books that I've read as I can recall.
Another Day, Another Dungeon, by Greg Costikyan (pub. 1990)
Amazon; B&N; Goodreads; Greg Costikyan; TV Tropes
This is something I think I probably ordered from the Science Fiction Book Club, but I couldn't say for sure. (It's also possible it could be one of four books I got in a grab bag from SFBC; the two I remember for sure are "City" and "Moving Pictures," but there are several books I own that I think might have been in the grab bag. I think it's more likely that I specifically ordered this, though. Or, maybe I even got it somewhere other than SFBC.) Anyway, I don't remember if I read this in the 90s or the Aughts, but I would guess the latter. And I remember thinking it was good, so I've always meant to eventually acquire the sequel, and read that too. I'd probably reread this first, though.
Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming, by Roger Zelazny & Robert Sheckley (pub. 1991)
Amazon; B&N; Goodreads; Random House; Wikipedia
I think I read this in 1999. I don't remember anything specific about it, but I'm sure I found it really funny. And it must have been one of the earliest things I was aware of that kind of took familiar fairy tales and modernized them, made them more twisted and ironic or whatever. Which is something I soon became much more familiar with, in things like The 10th Kingdom and Shrek, and, uh... any number of things. But then again, that concept was done earlier (and better) by Terry Pratchett, I suppose....
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, by Douglas Adams (pub. 1987)
Amazon; B&N; DouglasAdams.com; Goodreads; Simon & Schuster; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
Not sure exactly when I read this (and its sequel, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul), but I'm sure I liked them. And I definitely intend to reread them both, eventually. I guess I didn't like them quite as much as Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, but they were still funny and interesting. Even if I don't remember anything specific about the plots.
Moving Pictures, by Terry Pratchett (pub. 1990)
Amazon; B&N; Discworld Wiki; Goodreads; HarperCollins; Terry Pratchett; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
This is the tenth book in Pratchett's "Discworld" series, but so far it's the only one I've read. I got it in a grab bag I ordered from Science Fiction Book Club, so I didn't know what I would be getting. I don't recall if I'd even heard of Pratchett or Discworld before getting the book, but this was easily my favorite of the four books I received. I totally loved it. Ever since then, I've very much wanted to read the whole Discworld series, but so far I just haven't gotten around to it (though I have seen a couple of miniseries based on other books in the series, Hogfather and The Colour of Magic). I basically consider Pratchett the Douglas Adams of fantasy, which probably I'm not alone in doing. Anyway, someday I'll definitely reread and review this, though I should probably wait until I've read the preceding books, in proper order.
a night without armor II: the revenge, by Beau Sia (pub. 1998)
Amazon; B&N; Goodreads; Wikipedia
This is a book of poetry that came out shortly after Jewel's poetry book "a night without armor," as a spoof. I don't remember anything about it, but it is pretty much the best thing ever and even though I'm probably never going to reread it, I am going to keep it forever and ever just so it can sit next to Jewel's book forever and ever.
The Road to Mars, by Eric Idle (pub. 1999)
Amazon; B&N; Goodreads; Random House; TV Tropes; Wikipedia
Idle is, of course, best known as a member of the Monty Python comedy troupe. So you'd expect the book to be funny. Which it probably was, but I really can't remember a damned thing about it. It probably wasn't as good as I was hoping, but... I'll probably reread it someday. And compare it (less than favourably) to the works of Douglas Adams.
