(no subject)

Just read the Other Half Of The Sky anthology, edited by Anthea Andreadis; liked all the stories, although the extract from Joan Slonczewski's novel didn't stand up al that well on its own. My initial favourite was Martha Wells's Raksura story, but Aliette de Bodiard's creepy one about a kidnapped AI has stuck in my head more. Also a couple of Patricia Wentworth's Miss Silver mysteries, which are very popcorn.
Am in the middle of a book about mediaeval Japan, and have just started one of Edith Van Dyne (L. Frank Baum)'s Aunt Jane's Nieces books.

Very likely to go to this if I can get the Monday off; anybody want to meet up?
