    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: And what a disappointment. All the stories from established authors were good (the Turtledove was delightful) and the new ones were just embarrassingly bad and sophomoric, save the wine one and the one that had "Jordan" in the title.

    Worth it for the older work; not so much for the new stuff. Note that all the cover authors are reprints.

    I like Alan Dean Foster's stuff. I started picking up some of his novels after I read Splinter of the Mind's Eye a couple years back.

    What was the text of Orson Scott Card's sermon, er, short story, er, plot?
