March is, of course 3 days longer than a normal February so naturally the list for March will include more books than the previous month.
Like February, the books I read In March were exclusively Sci-Fi Time Travel novels. Honestly, some were much better than others. Not only will this post contain the list of books read in March, but I'll also give my picks for the top five time travel books (read since my quest began in February).
First, the Top Five:
1) the "Oxford Time Travel series" by Connie Willis. This is actually a four book series, but for the purposes of my "top five" list, I'm counting the series as one book.
2) The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
3) Kindred by Octavia Butler.
4) Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
5) The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and it's sequel The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter. Although these are two different books by two different writers, again for the purposes of my list, I'm counting these as one book.
Although some others were less than my favorite, there are two that deserve to be mentioned as the worst. The Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett (which I couldn't bring myself to finish) and Time Enough For Love by Robert Heinlein.
This month I'll be reading non- time travel books written by some of the writers in my time travel list. I've already put eight books in the queue. These will include books by Octavia Butler, Connie Willis, H.G. Wells and Stephen Baxter. More on that later.
So, here's the list for March.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
Tourmalin's Time Cheques by F. Anstey.
The Langoliers by Stephen King.
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North.
The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov.
The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson.
The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman.
Tau Zero by Poul Anderson.
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
Kindred by Octavia Butler.
All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.
