Books

• Heat of Fusion and Other Stories

  There's an astonishing variety of stuff here, and nearly all of it is excellent. I highly recommend this book, and pretty much anything else by John M. Ford that you can lay hands on.

• The Knight

  A unique take on the crossover fantasy story, but then you'd expect nothing less from Gene Wolfe.

• The Last Light of the Sun

  The latest from Guy Gavriel Kay, and there's some great stuff here-- revenge, epic journeys, a grand sweep of history, more explicit magic than Kay has had in his last several books. It's a very good book, but just doesn't rank with his best.

• Celine Dion's latest venue

  I was outside with the pallbearers from the undertaker's. I gave the nod to the crem attendant. He pressed 'play'. Well, it was Celine Dion, it was 'My heart will go on' ... but it was the dance remix.
