Melding with Minds

The latest SF Signal Mind Meld is up, with me and a whole bunch of others holding forth on what "non-SF/Fantasy" books we'd recommend to readers who generally limited themselves to the "SF/Fantasy" genres. Listing-style questions like that often just make my mind go blank, I have to say. Like when you're on the phone and somebody asks what's been happening, and you completely forget about the abseiling and the elephant ride and the zombie apocalypse and just say, "meh, nothing much", you know? That's my excuse for not mentioning Lanark -- which happily Al Reynolds does. So, yeah.
