Help me prioritize my to-read stacks! Please comment to tell me which I should read first and why, and if there's anything I should avoid and why.

Note: This is just the first poll.

Other note: I have already read and enjoyed other books by Butler, Myers, Johnson, and Liu.

Not The Gilda Stories. It was BOOOOOOOORING.

That is so sad. Lesbian vampires should not be boring!

I will push back and say the I love The Gilda Stories greatly. Boring for some but for me, I waited years (since the first short story, "No Day Too Long", was published in the book, Lesbian Fiction<) to have more.

You can find an additional Gilda themed story in the anthology, Swords of the Rainbow.

I remember liking it (I didn't think it was boring), but not loving it, so I did not vote for it. I quite liked The Fledgling, but it is not Butler at her best, so I didn't vote for that either.

But The Intuitionist is awesome, about two competing theories of elevators. So entertaining and inventive!
