nonionayI bought Caitlín Kiernan's A is for Alien just now. When I saw that the special edition had a story called, "Persephone," I almost forked over the 45$ for it. (See previous post for explanation.)
However, since I"m planning on spending a bunch of money tomorrow on books, and recently spent 80$ on beads, I figured I should restrain myself. I might end up buying The Steel Remains, by Richard Morgan, just because of This incredibly colorful and enthusiastic review by Hal Duncan. That review is also worth it to read about Duncan's take on writing gay characters.
I'm also reading Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel. Written in the 50s. The kid's spacesuit is made of asbestos. I skimmed ahead and also saw the line, "I wish my boots were made of asbestos." It's like he had a forward-looking time machine and wrote it to be retrospectively hilarious!
