jennythereaderAn author you read for the first time in 2007 I found several new (to me) authors this year. The two best were probably Elizabeth Bear and Charles De Lint. Other authors I found this year included Jo Walton, S.M. Stirling, and Stephen Baxter
A band/musician you heard for the first time in 2007 Bunches, most via Pandora.com. Amy Winehouse and XTC were two of the best and I think I canblame credit ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nounsandverbs for my knowledge of both of them.
A movie (that's been around for a while) that you saw for the first time in 2007 I honestly can't think of any. I'm not a big movie person, and when I am in the mood I prefer to go to the theater.
An author you read for the last time in 2007 Brian W. Aldiss. I've got about 40 pages left in Helliconia Spring, and once I'm done with it I'm not going to pick up any by Aldiss ever again. The writing style is clunky and he uses this awful "little did anyone know that this seemingly insignificant thing was going to change the course of nations" gimmick on just about every page.
A band/musician you listened to for the last time in 2007 I can't think of any specific groups for this one.
A movie you watched for the last time in 2007 I don't think I'll be re-watching Rush Hour 3 or bothering with any future movies in the franchise.
