Month: March 2008

A while back I got an invitation from Charles Tan to put together my "year's best 5 Pinoy speculative works" list. I thought it was a good idea, so he made this document that puts together four lists - namely mine and those of Don, Banzai Cat, and Charles himself. Visit their blogs to leave comments on their lists. Better yet, make your own lists! I'd be glad to link to them on this blog. Incidentally, Sean Uy of To the Tale, and Other Such Concerns has posted his reactions to the other people's lists. I still don't want to call mine a "best of" roster, but I will call it a "current favorites" roster. Unlike everybody else, I didn't come up with exactly five stories. And I won't apologize for my apologies :P But looking at this list, it seems to me that that my taste for stories appears to run along the unconventional route. Which is funny, because I don't feel unconventional... Saving the contents here, for posterity. (more…)
