Here's a new question... If you had a friend who didn't read either sf or fantasy, and she said "OK, I'll give this stuff a try since you like it so much. Name one book I should read" -- what's your answer?
Hmmmm...tough question. It would depend on the friend. Some of the books that come to mind by genre would include the Dresden Files by Butcher if I thought urban fantasy could be their bag. Feed by Mira Grant rocks if I they were a fan of the Walking Dead or other zombie tropes. Feed is more of a thinker's zombie novel. Old Man's War by Scalzi comes to mind for the SciFi crowd. I would recommend Game of Thrones for those folks that enjoyed historical fiction and had never tried fantasy.
