Location: USA		I remember Snow Queen being published and making a very strong impression. Everyone was reading it. It was a standout at that time, a new voice and style. It's had an influence, and awareness of that influence in the hear and now is quite like to make it seem less than fresh and innovative in the here and now. Of course, there were folk back then who found it over-written and implausible, dissenting views accompany any novel, no matter when it's published. No book ever has universal appeal.

I'm actually surprised at how much progress I've made in this list I set for myself. Surprised and pleased. I was once a much more avid reader than I've been of late. Groups like this one and the Shelfari crowd now currently at Leafmarks have increased my motivation to read.
