A cousin of mine has a son who likes science fiction and fantasy.  He’s the only relative I have who does, so for his bar mitzvah I went through the shelves at Dark Carnival alphabetically and picked out some books I thought he might enjoy.  This took way longer than I thought it would and I had to hurry toward the end, which was unfortunately when I noticed my choices were heavy on fantasy and too light on science fiction, so I grabbed the last book on the list mostly for its sf cred.  I also realized that I had no authors of color, but if I do this again next year I can fix that.
