This stayed in the back of my head for a while. I'd like to say that I get all my recommendations from the New York Times book review (which I do read), but it's not true. Most of the books I buy in recent years are by writers I know, either because they've taught at Clarion West or because they've been students at Clarion West. Recommendations from writers I know is a good source.

I used to follow the Tiptree shortlist more closely than I do now, but it's been a good source of recommendations, too.

I read less than I did in my youth, so I don't need as many recommendations as I used to need.
