Since Paul Weimer’s blog wouldn’t let me leave comments I will respond to his top 5 list here:
I’m excited to see vN on the list as it is a book I’ve seen reviewed favorably elsewhere and I just received a copy for Christmas from my brother. I also recently purchased Edge of Infinity and have been slowly savoring the stories in that collection.
Nice to see the Tor link with at least some faint praise of John Carter after reading yet another annoying (admittedly only because I disagree with it) review on the Time link.
