The framing structure is a group of Athenian women in antiquity, telling each other erotic stories. These are interspersed with contemporary accounts. The book's main oddity, to me, is that many of the stories are more 'naughty' than erotic, in the se ...more |

| Camp's premise is intriguing, at least for the long-time comics fan: we're all accustomed to reading stories in which reality or time break down as superheroes try to deal with some cosmic threat. How does this play out for regular people on the grou ...more | |

| It's difficult to discuss the details of the book without spoilers. On one hand, it has many plot elements that annoy me. On the other hand, we finally get to visit the Corvid society and they're a delight. On the gripping hand, Tchaikovsky's prose i ...more | |

| A self-contained space opera, of sorts, which details political turmoil inside a sphere-shaped generation starship. One of Flynn's more accessible novels in terms of prose. Very worth reading, and I'd be interested to revisit this setting a couple ge ...more | |

A gathering of characters who were all the Chosen Ones in their individual narratives, teaming up against an apocalyptic threat. An clever concept, told amusingly enough. Not sure there'd be any point to a continuation, but it was worth reading for so ...more |

| Continuing Ness' trilogy. One of the better YA novels presenting dystopian storylines. He avoids easy choices on the part of his protagonists and crafts difficult situations which seem hopeless although the overall tone of the series doesn't lapse in ...more | |

| A time capsule of a more optimistic era, in which the author reports from a quartet of Eastern European countries as they emerged from the Iron Curtain ... the Czechoslovakian section is the brightest, illuminated by Václav Havel, while Hungarian sec ...more | |
“You get work however you get work, but people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of todays world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”
