Most of the time author's requests, in some cases publishers. I haven't read enough to formulate a opinion.

I don't buy any of my books anymore :) That woull be irresposible since she give just about every book she reviews 5 stars - some good, some not.

Big Rushdie fanm starting Salimar thr Clown now :)

From the expert on both Mieville and Peake.... :) Very few writers I have come across have the prose of someone like Peake, but Thomas Wolfe is someone who comes to mind.

recently finished Catheryyne M. Valente's Yume Me Hon: Book of Dreams, the newest release from one of the great new stylists in the genre. A Beautiful novel. I also recently finished China Mieville's fantastic collection Looking for Jake - excellent work from perhaps my favorite current SFF...
