The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction (Cambridge Companions to Literature)
Read to make myself more aware of what has been going on and is happening in the SF field, and how I can contribute to it through my own writing. Skipped parts not partiularily relevant to me at this point (such as the chapter on religion), but a consise and very interesting read, which gave me a long list of new books I wish to read. Especially happy about all the female authors discussed, as I've had trouble finding SF written by women.
