"We read to know we're not alone."
- Anthony Hopkings as C.S.Lewis in "Shadowlands"

This week I've read Vonda McIntyre's story collection "Outcasts", Mary Robinette Kowal's review of Jane Austen's tale about Conan the Cimmerian, and Richard Parks's "A Thing or Two about Love". I've bought Carrie Vaughn's "Kitty and the Silver Bullet", and am now re-reading Kurt Busiek's "Arrowsmith", a fantasy tale that came out ahead of its time, which is why very few know about it.
