My Reading Challenge is Challenging

[lyda222]

You can not even imagine the huge pile of library books on my piano. Actually, you probably can because you're probably a voracious reader. But, for me, it's almost overwhelming.

And now I have more to try to hunt down:

The Seiun Award (aka "the Japanese Hugo") for best SF in translation (I will be reading them in English.):

Pathfinder, Orson Scott Card, translated by Naoya Nakahara (Hayakawa)
Ready Player One, Ernest Cline, translated by Makiko Ikeda (SB Creative)
The Dervish House, Ian McDonald, translated by Masaya Shimokusu (Tokyo Sogensha)
Redshirts, John Scalzi, translated by Masayuki Uchida (Hayakawa)
Among Others, Jo Walton, translated by Takeshi Mogi (Tokyo Sogensha)
The Martian, Andy Weir, translated by Kazuko Onoda (Hayakawa)

And the award that I would have thought that the SP/RP's would have coveted more than the Hugo, the Prometheus (The Libertarian Futurist Society award honoring pro-freedom works published in 2014. It's even handed out at WorldCON, I kid you not.)

The Three-Body Problem, Liu Cixin (Tor)
Raising Steam, Terry Pratchett (Doubleday)
A Better World, Marcus Sakey (Thomas & Mercer)
Influx, Daniel Suarez (Dutton)
