Yet another book meme

How did I miss this? Via Kalgrl, a science fiction/fantasy/horror meme:

1. The last sf/f/h book I read and enjoyed was: Endgame by Ann Aguirre (last in the Sirantha Jax series)
2. The last sf/f/h book I read and did not enjoy was: The Children of the Sky by Vernor Vinge (I only finished it because I am a Vernor Vinge fan)
3. A sf/f/h book that I would recommend to new sf/f/h readers is: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
4. A sf/f/h book that I would recommend to seasoned sf/f/h readers is: Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks
5. The sf/f/h book I most want to read next is: A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin (I keep starting it, then getting distracted by something else. Must stay ahead of the TV series)
6. My favorite sf/f/h book series includes: Minds, from The Culture (thank you Iain M. Banks). I am also very partial to aliens.
7. I will read anything by this sf/f/h author: Iain M. Banks (alas, I have read everything by this author. RIP.)
8. The first sf/f/h book I read was: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
9. The sf/f/h book I’m most surprised that more people don’t like is: Glasshouse by Charles Stross
10. The sf/f/h book I’m surprised so many people do like is: Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series (ducks)
11. The most expensive sf/f/h book I own is: I don’t think I own any special editions or anything pricey…
12. The number of sf/f/h books I own and have yet to read is: more than I’d like…

I can’t recommend any horror works, not being a fan of the genre.
