LWE's Favorite Books "Some Old Favorites"
Herein, Gentle Reader, you will find a collection of short pieces about my favorite SF books. I wrote most of these as fillers for a fanzine long ago, but I'm periodically adding new ones. In all of them I recommend works by other authors that I don't feel have gotten the attention they deserve.
You won't find the obvious recommendations of Tolkien and Heinlein here; these are all items I feel have been unjustly neglected. I may add something about better-known favorites later, but for now what you have here are compilations of two series of very short articles on obscurities and lost treasures, plus whatever newer books I think have been unjustly neglected...

Oh, about THIS 'Lawrence Watt-Evans' dude - - -
Lawrence Watt Evans, who works under the pen name Lawrence Watt-Evans, was born in Massachusetts in 1954, and grew up as one of six kids in a big old Victorian house rumored to be haunted. Both parents were science fiction readers, so he grew up reading the stuff, and decided at the age of seven or eight that he wanted to write it. He taught himself to read from a comic book at the age of five and later decided he wanted to write those, too; the ''haunted'' house may be why he eventually took up horror.And when he discovered fantasy he wanted to write that, too.
Unlike most people who decide to be writers, he actually pulled it off, selling his first novel, The Lure of the Basilisk, at the age of twenty-four. He has been a full-time writer ever since.
He's now the author of more than forty novels, over one hundred short stories, over one hundred and fifty published articles, and a few comic books, as well as the editor of one published anthology. Most of his writing has been in the fields of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic books. He has been a full-time writer and editor for more than thirty years, and is always interested in new projects. For his website discussing his work, his family, and various other matters, please see the rest of the Misenchanted Page.
He was an Active member of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America from 1982 to 2006, and has served as Eastern Regional Director and treasurer. He was nominated for the 1987 Nebula Award for short story.
He received the World Science Fiction Society's Hugo award for best short story in 1988, for ''Why I Left Harry's All-Night Hamburgers.''
