PLEASE NOTE: Just because a book is listed on this page does not mean I am giving it a recommendation. It only means they have been mentioned somewhere on other pages. All of the newer titles I have added recently are here because they are on the Hugo/Nebula Awards pages, and there are many of them that I have yet to read. Even if you do not choose to purchase books from amazon, they do provide other readers' comments and reviews on many of their pages, as well as offering recommendations of other titles that are related to the one you click on. Everyone should have ample opportunity to find out information about any book in order to determine if they feel it would appeal to them. If any of the authors here are not on my list on the Literature page then you can assume I have read little or nothing by that person as of yet. That being said, now on to the books.
Listed alphabetically by author as is my usual habit, but the titles themselves are more or less in a chronological order of the way they were written. I have always thought it was more interesting to explore an author's artistic development rather than necessarily following a particular order of story sequence. These are titles that are currently available through amazon.com, and I will update this page as I add articles. There are quite a few titles that have been mentioned that are Out of Print, and thus not available from amazon (at least directly, they may be offered by some of their "Marketplace Sellers"). WARNING! Please be cautious in purchasing used items; be sure to check out a seller's feedback rating before you buy.
Of course it is inevitable that at some time titles on this page will become unavailable, so if and when you experience one of those, please let me know and I will take that title off this page. On the other hand, I have been encouraged lately by some titles coming back into print that I have added here recently, so it is advisable to check here first to see if what you are looking for is available at this time.
NOTE: The links on an author's name will take you to their review page(s) here on Templeton Gate. I am still seeking others who would like to contribute articles on authors or reviews of specific books, so if you are interested email me.
