Fiction read (July - December 2019)

This is the second half (July through December) of my 2019 reading list -- the first half may be found here. As usual, I'm not including my non-fiction reading & research, mostly because I've gotten so good at "gutting" those texts that page counts are pretty irrelevant. At least with the fiction. I paid pretty good attention to every page.

 So, without further ado:
Poul Anderson, The Broken Sword, 200 pg.
Poul Anderson, Three Hearts and Three Lions, 150 pg
Poul & Karen Anderson, The Unicorn Trade, 250 pg.

Glen Cook, The Swordbearer, 250 pg.
Paul Edwin Zimmer & Jon DeCles, Blood of the Colyn Muir, 250 pg.
Lawrence Watt-Evans, The Misenchanted Sword, 250 pg
Michael Moorcock, Elric of Melnibone and Other Stories, 200 pg.

Marie Brennan, A Natural History of Dragons, 350 pg.
Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, 400 pg.
Trudi Canavan, The Black Magician, 400 pg.
Karen Miller, The Innocent Mage, 600 pg.
T. H. White, The Sword in the Stone, 200 pg.
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish, 300 pg.

Jeff VanderMeer, City of Saints and Madmen, 250 pg.
Jeff VanderMeer, Borne, 300 pg.

Samuel R. Delaney, Tales of Nevèrÿon, 350 pg.
Samuel R. Delaney, Neveryóna, 450 pg

Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu, 300 pg.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed, 300 pg.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven, 200 pg

Peter S. Beagle, The Innkeeper's Song, 350 pg.
Peter S. Beagle, Tamsin, 300 pg.
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn, 250 pg.
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn: The Lost Journey, 150 pg
Peter S. Beagle, The Overneath, 200 pg.
Peter S. Beagle, The Folk of the Air, 300 pg.

SAGAS
Völsunga saga, ed. by Wright, 100 pg.
The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise, edited by C. Tolkien, 100 pg.

Final stats: 7,700 pages of reading over 183 days, or just over 41 pages per day. That's quite a bit less from the first half of the year; then again, I've been pretty research heavy these last two months, so it's not unexpected. 

All told, I've read 49 novels and short story collections for the year. Good for a PhD in literature, or no? Honestly, I have no idea, but I do work constantly, so no guilt!

Genre Fantasy Bestsellers through 1990

Image
I've been studying Keith Justice's Bestseller Index , which compiles information from two separate bestseller lists -- New York Times Book Review and Publishers Weekly -- up through 1990, and the results are ridiculously fascinating. For instance, you wanna take a stab at which SFF author has the most individual books appear on a bestseller list? No, it ain't Heinlein, Clark, Herbert, or Asimov. It's not even Terry Brooks or David Eddings. No, the answer is Piers Anthony . And even if you somehow pulled that name out of thin air, I guarantee you'll never guess how truly dominate Anthony was. Up through 1990, Anthony had more than double than number of distinct bestsellers than the next most frequent bestseller, Anne McCaffrey. Whereas Anthony had an astounding  22 different books appear on a bestseller list, McCaffrey had "only" 9.** Now, caveats. These numbers need to be taken with one (or two) grains of salt. For instance, although Anthony had 22 two dis

Thoughts upon Reading Tolkien's New & Expanded LETTERS

So, I'm reading through the newly expanded version of Tolkien's Letters. One thing I hadn't properly realized is that these letters were part of Carpenter's original manuscript back in 1981, but Carpenter had to cut them due to cost. Turns out that Carpenter had a pretty keen eye on what could bear cutting -- most of this new stuff isn't terribly interesting, but I discovered a few nuggets. VINDICATED!! (Me, sorta) Naturally, whenever you read new primary material, your first instinct is to check to see if anything contradicts something you've said in print ... especially biographically. Well, I've made three big "biographical" claims, and here's my sigh of relief: Concerning my claim that, in 1954, Tolkien and colleagues contrived to create CS Lewis's academic chair at Cambridge in exchange for them nominating EM Forster for the Nobel Prize. Nothing in  Letters  supports or contradicts this. In my recent article for  Notes & Queries ,

Uncovering CS Lewis's First Religious Poem

 So, with my article's official acceptance by the journal English Text Construction , it's time to let the cat out of the bag. Using a combination of metrical analysis and biography, I've ascertained with near perfect certainty the first religious poem C. S. Lewis poem ever wrote .... a short poem, "Sweet Desire," that scholars have never previously paid any attention to. This poem is firmly datable to early 1930, probably January or February is my guess, and given the poem's subject matter, it's clearly talking about CSL's fears and intellectual trepidation about becoming a theist and abandoning atheism for good. It's basically Lewis's version of Caedmon's Hymn . The full metrical details will have to await my article, but one interesting caveat on my claims to firstness. In my peer reviewer's commentary, they recommended I contact a CSL scholar named  Charlie W. Starr, who's been working on Lewis's handwriting for quite a lon
