Status Updates From The Second Fritz Leiber MEG...

Recognition of Death: 2 stars

A poem about the difficulties of life, and the usefulness of death.

The Big Engine: 2 stars.

A short piece on nihlism.

Bullet With His Name: 3 Stars

One of the best stories in the book. A tale of alien civilizations.

The Last Letter: 3 stars

A fun little romance story that takes place in the same world as the floating bread.

Time in the Round: 2 stars

A time story. I wasn't a big fan of the world portrayed in this one.

A good day for sales. Robie the robot is cute, and functions about as well as modern AI.

Yesterday House: 3 stars.

An interesting sci-fi tale about biology, with horror vibes.

Nice Girl with 5 Husbands: 3 stars.

A fun little time travel story. No complaints.

Coming Attraction: 4 stars

I really enjoyed the world building in this one. As often happens with leiber I found the ending quick and unsatisfying.

The Dreams of Albert Moreland: 3 stars

I have dreams like this some times and it's very frightening. I've never seen it described before. If the story went anywhere and didn't just stop it would have a higher rating.

A Bit of the Dark World: three stars.

If I was rating the beginning it would be three stars. The middle 2, the end 4.
The horror really does hit nicely at the end. It's just a little boring to get to it.

Kreativity for Kats:

3 stars I think I'll give them all 3 stars actually though the first story was the best.

A story from a cats perspective. I think Irene would really enjoy this one.

Appointment in Tomorrow:

2 stars. A story of the future. Toward the beginning it's wordy and hard to read. It gets easier in the middle but it doesn't really get much of anywhere.

I forgot to star rate. Whoops. Pail of Air 3 stars. What's he doing in there 2

What's He Doing in There?:
A quite short story about the first martian visitor and cultural differences.

Pail of Air:
A beautiful little story, about the last survivors on a snowball earth.
