Good Intentions
ByElliott Kay

#1 of 4 in Tales of MU

Tales of MU, Vol. 1.0
ByAlexandra Erin

2011 • 1 Reader 4

Why this book?

II discovered this web series in university. It was both fun, and got me exploring sex, religion, and the format of the novel in new ways.

The Number of the Beast

#2 of 4 in The World As Myth

The Number of the Beast
ByRobert A. Heinlein

1980 • 38 Readers • 511 pages 2.7

Why this book?

When I discovered Heinlein as a teenager, it started my intolerable atheist libertarian phase. Thankfully, I eventually got better.

Geis of the Gargoyle

#18 of 43 in Xanth

Geis of the Gargoyle
ByPiers Anthony

1995 • 18 Readers • 342 pages 3

Why this book?

This was the first soft fantasy book I ever read. I got it on tape from the CNIB when I was, like, 11, and loved it. It would take me several more years to get any of his other books. While I've outgrown the series now, I still remember those magical nights reading xanth.
