I just wanted to express an opinion and don't mean it it as a critcism or
complaint. It bothers me a little when someone asks for suggested books on
a topic and a web site is given as a response. Now sometimes people are
ASKING for a web site and thank god for those of you who keep track of such
things. I'm lousy at it.
But sometimes I just want to know a book or two or three that YOU have:
read and enjoyed / found useful / heard patrons speak of. For me, that's
the fun of doing bibliographies, being able to share stuff that might
otherwise go unnoticed. DEB

Deb,
I realize that a web site doesn't always answer the question as asked but
for the rest of us, that web site might provide valuable information for
other questions. I have long lists of great sites that I have gotten
from fiction-l and other mailing lists.

I agree with those in favour of web sites. I have got some great sites
from Fictionlist.

I know what Deb means, I think. Looking at a web site list is useful, but
it's especially nice to get a personal recommendation from someone who has
read the book/s and can offer comments on it.

Just to put in my two cents--I have found these web
sites so useful I forwarded them to friends.
