And I did like this one when I found it at greybon. What’s a book you most want to read again for the first time?: Oh, that’s a tough one. I’d probably want to pick something that changed my head in some significant way, which biases the field in favour of things I read earlier [...]
Well, the most interesting book world story right now is surely the whole hardball face-off between Amazon and Macmillan. I expect the most interesting discussion at Making Light. It’s been a pretty depressing week in the book world: too many stories of authors dying. I guess there will only be more and more stories about [...]
For what it’s worth, if I were picking the winners of the Nebula Awards right now (not the ones I think will win, but rather the ones I thought were the best) from the preliminary ballot the winners, according to my arbitrary and would be: For novel, either Hal Duncan‘s brilliant mess Vellum, or else [...]
If you read this blog closely, you will have noticed a few mentions of Matt Hughes, particularly including my mention of being startled at finding out there was a Hughes chapbook forthcoming from a publisher I had previously never heard of. Well, you can be sure I’ll be paying a lot more attention to Payseur [...]
For some reason I’ve been on a things-in-space-with-cool-pictures kick this week, so why stop now? Here’s a picture of the aurora australis, as seen from Antarctica: That’s one of two images from a post at Canadian hard-SF author Peter Watts‘ blog. Read the post for a higher resolution version, another picture, and a very disturbing [...]

This kind of shit really pisses me off–thinking about it probably won’t help me get out of my pissy mood, actually. If I [...]
Pal Gwenda points out the online version of Locus’ Forthcoming Books list through next September and asks what we’re lusting after. I’ve gone through the list and tried to pick out the top three each month, where “top three” is defined as “three I am most excited about reading”, which is not necessarily the same [...]
OK, let’s clear some tabs. What is up with North America’s unrealistic boob size fascination? Digital enhancements? “…magazine publishers in the US ban stars from appearing on their front covers unless they have at least a C-cup size, or are willing to be digitally enhanced to make it appear as if they have”?!??! Man, we [...]
Locus has published their list of recommended books for last year. I’m doing pretty well on the novels. Science Fiction Novels The Life of the World to Come, Kage Baker (Tor) (got it, read it) The Algebraist, Iain M. Banks (Orbit)(got it, read it) Exultant, Stephen Baxter (Gollancz; Del Rey) Spondulix, Paul Di Filippo (Cambrian)(planning [...]
