Reddit mentions of Libriomancer (Magic Ex Libris Book 1)

Ganny Knits a Spaceship, by David Gerrold. A look at society and how it's shifted, in a short story. Quite engaging - I should read it again, as it's been over a year since the last time.

Rendezvous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clarke. Weird-ass thing that's later discovered to yes, be a space ship and not some manner of rogue comet gets intercepted by humans (who made a point of intercepting it), and the wonder of discovery of this totally alien thing. There's also an exploration into human society and how it might be "in the future," which is basically a better technological version of how society has been, for the most part.

Mutineers' Moon, by David Weber. Earth is basically populated by ... not quite "aliens" per se, but not quite evolved-on-Earth-people, either (not gonna spoil it). More explorations on technology and how it benefits people, societal constructs, and haters gonna hate.

On Basilisk Station, by David Drake. A naval captain is sent to a crappy station as punishment for not being a pushover, and proceeds to not be a pushover when the Republic of Haven tries to elbow their way in. The first novel of a wonderful series that, yes, explores the human condition. And it's got treecats, which I want.

Crystal Singer, by Anne McCaffrey. A vocal musician is denied the position she truly wants, and is lured into mining "crystal," on a planet where sound can kill, because that very crystal will shatter bodies and minds alike.

Libriomancer, by Jim Hines. This is more modern fantasy than "science fiction," per se, but I wanted to include it because it's an engaging story, using both magic and technology, and books. And world domination.

Burning Water, by Mercedes Lackey. Again, modern fantasy. A (magical) Guardian who keeps the bills paid by writing romance novels is called upon to help deal with Something Interesting™ in the Southwest.

The Libriomancer books from Jim C Hines http://amzn.com/B007P7HPWC It's a world where magic comes from books and libriomancers can pull items out of books like weapons from David Weber or David Drake, or healing potions from fantasy stuff. He's even got a babel fish from Hitchhikers Guide!

Coming in a bit late to say that Libriomancer, the first book in my Magic ex Libris series, is a Kindle Daily Deal for another few hours, available for $1.99. B&N, Kobo, and iBooks have all price-matched.

This is my book about a magic librarian from Michigan, his pet fire-spider, a motorcycle-riding dryad, an enchanted convertible, and Johannes Gutenberg.

Mentioning a few that I haven't seen listed yet.

I really dig anything by Peter Clines - mainly the Ex-Heroes series, but also the Fold/14 shared universe too.

I have also always enjoyed the Callahan Chronicals series by Spider Robinson
