What Else You Could Be Reading

SF Signal asked me to contribute to one of their "Mind Meld" features this week, on the topic

Q: SF conventions often have panels on "What sf books would you recommend to someone who hadn't encountered the field before?" Let's turn that around: "What non-sf/fantasy books would you recommend to someone whose reading was predominantly in sf/fantasy?"

Go there to see what I wrote...and, along the way, the suggestions from other smart people like Gary K. Wolfe, Hal Reynolds, Cheryl Morgan, Niall Harrison, John Kessel, and several more.
