My book came in

So the local library came through with a copy of Connie Willis' mammoth short story collection Winds of Marble Arch. I'd been in the queue since the end of last year. I was beginning to think they'd forgotten about me. It'll be interesting to see which stories I've already read from other collections. In some ways, I think Connie does much better with the shorter form. Not that I begrudge her Passage or Bellwether -- you'll have to pry those out of my cold dead heads. If then.

I did get around to reading Inside Job in the Year's Best Fantasy collection. I liked it a lot more than "D.A.", but maybe it's just the image of a certain Baltimore curmudgeon haranguing New Agers. There's a certain symmetry... or something.
