Scott's Reading List

2012 Edgar Nominees

Generally, I stick to reading science fiction, but I've been dipping my toes into the world of mysteries. I tend to read books that have been nominated for an Edgar, and the 2012 Edgar Nominees have just been announced.

Interestingly, amongst the nominees is The Company Man which is a sci-fi novel. This means, of course, that I'll be reading The Company Man at some point.

Philip K. Dick Award 2011 nominees

The Philip K Dick Award nominees for 2011 have been announced. I haven't read any of the books on the list, but I am sure as hell not going to read Deadline (Feed was my least favorite read of last year).

Here's the list with some Amazon links to make me a few cents:

• A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson (Ace Books)
• After the Apocalypse by Maureen F. McHugh (Small BeerPress)
• Deadline by Mira Grant (Orbit)
• The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett (Orbit)
• The Other by Matthew Hughes (Underland Press)
• The Postmortal by Drew Magary (Penguin Books)
• The Samuil Petrovitch Trilogy (Equations of Life, Theories of Flight, Degrees of Freedom) by Simon Morden (Orbit)

I haven't read any of the nominated books, though I have admired the covers of the The Samuil Petrovitch Trilogy in a bookstore recently (and I just bought the first book on my Kindle):
