Because Reading Is Fundamental

11/19-11/25

I was lucky to have gotten this much reading in, what with the holiday travel and all.

• Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum, "The Young Wife's Tale"
  
• J.G. Ballard, "Deep End"
  
• Ryan Boudinot, "Drugs and Toys"
  
• Ryan Boudinot, "Contaminant"
  
• Kelly Link, "Lull"
  
• J.G. Ballard, "The Overloaded Man"

11/26-12/2

• Ryan Boudinot, the remainder of his collection The Littlest Hitler
  
• M. Rickert, "Don't Ask"
  
• Stuart Dybek, "Farwell"
  
• S.L. Gilbow, "Who Brought Tulips to the Moon?"
  
• J.G. Ballard, "Billennium"
  
• Stuart Dybek, "Chopin in Winter"
  

I think I made some decent headway with things I've purchased over the Thanksgiving holiday, used and new. The stories from Gilbow and Rickert are from the December '07 issue of F&SF--I've accepted the fact that I'll buy just about anything with M. Rickert's name on it, including whatever collection "Don't Ask" might end up in. Sort of like I keep downloading buying all those greatest hits compilations that the band Chicago keeps putting out.
