* * FURRY NOVEL LIST - Version 1.6 - Part 1 - March 18, 1995 * *
****************************************************************

   This is the seventh edition of a list of novels that may be of
interest to a.f.f readers. It is by no means a complete list, and if you
know of something not on the list that should be here (or, heaven
forbid, something that is on the list that shouldn't be *grin*), I'd
appreciate it if you'd e-mail me at dl24@cornell.edu.

   For the list, I'm defining a "furry novel" as a novel containing at 
least one major furry character/plot thread - the presence of humans 
will not be grounds for disqualification. I realize that this is a 
rather broad definition, but I'd rather the definition be too broad
than too narrow.

   I've arranged the list into three categories of furriness:

   1) Animals behaving intelligently - This type of story deals with
animals in their natural forms showing innate intelligence.
      Example: _Watership Down_ by Richard Adams.

   2) Intelligent Animals - These stories deal with animals in their
natural forms who, through methods scientific, magical or other, are
able to express their intelligence in interactions with humans and/or
other "intelligent" species.
      Example: _Startide Rising_ by David Brin. (True, dolphins have no
fur, but they *are* mammals, which, IMHO, make them ex officio furries.)

   3) Intelligent Animalmorphs - These stories, obviously enough, deal
with anthropomorphic species.
      Example: _The Pride of Chanur_ by C. J. Cherryh. 

   Wherever possible, the listings include author, title, specie(s) of
furries involved, year of publication, publisher and ISBN number 
(usually for a U.S. paperback edition). This list now includes, where
possible, forthcoming furry books (information for these books has
been gleaned from assorted sources, especially the _Locus_ list of
forthcoming books). For these books, the date of publication and 
publisher is set off in asterisks.

If you feel like sending additions, please include as much of this info 
as you can. My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed additions 
- the response to date has been gratifyingly overwhelming!

   I make no promises as to how good the stories are; besides, I'm sure
opinions may vary on many of these novels (both on quality and
furriness).

   Enjoy!
