    BTW, "the odds are good, but the goods are odd" is not anyone in particular's invention -- it's just one of those phrases that have been around forever.


    For some reason, it gets used a lot by fannish women ;) and I first heard it as a girl in engineering school.

    I liked the story in "New Space Opera" about the Martian truckers, so more of this looks good.


    Also, I want to be a New Celt. Sounds like I'd fit right in. "Beast slavery" FTW -- some animals is tasty, some produce tasty things, and some are cute and fuzzy companions. I'm keeping my wine, my bacon, and my kittehs.

    Looks like you'll be keeping my wallet light once again Grey! *Sigh* That's fine though as long as some of these books are good.

    @♪: Maybe catch up on some Mass Market editions of the Company novels first to see if you like Baker's style.
