I must read more Stross. At the moment all I've read was "A Colder War", which I thought was great (and which is available for free online). Having said that, I've had his _Singularity Sky_ and _Iron Sunrise_ on my bookshelves for a couple of years now and haven't quite worked up enough enthusiasm to read them. I'm having - and here I might have to turn in my Culture List membership - the same problem with Banks' _The Algebraist_ and _Matter_. The next fiction I'll read will probably be Greg Egan's _Incandesence_. I've enjoyed his novels quite a lot, flawed though they are, but wish there was more of a market for his short stories. As I'll probably be off work ill for one more day I might read it tomorrow. Rich, who has some enthusiasm for reading the Baroque Cycle, but that enthusiasm is outweighed by being intimidated by the sheer number of pages. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
