“读过 Jo Walton 的 Among Others 的读者大概都能猜到，Walton 既是科幻与奇幻小说的资深读者，也是一位长期的重读爱好者。2008年，当时新成立的科幻巨头网站 Tor.com 邀请 Walton 定期撰写关于她重读作品的博客专栏——内容涵盖各类早期奇幻与科幻作品，既有公认的经典名作、让人欲罢不能的通俗读物，也有被遗忘的怪异奇书与珍品宝藏。这些博文一直是 Tor.com 最受欢迎的栏目之一。如今，本书精选了其中最出色的篇章，内容从随笔短文到对该领域一些最具野心……”

Jo Walton 的《这本书为什么这么棒》（What Makes This Book So Great）以及书中提到的半打我之前没读过的书（这是她重读书籍的博客文章合集）。那些之前没读过的书，我现在终于全都读完了……

One of the best books I've ever read and that was clear…
