Finished the Subterfuge anthology which was a good selection of stories for the most part, and the Bradbury which I thought was a bit more miss than hit compared with previous collections of his I've read.
December's reading so far has been
Joe Abercrombie - Best Served Cold - another strong offering from Joe, set in the same world as his previous First Law trilogy but a different part of it, and as a stand-alone it's not essential to have read those. Another author who was quickly added to my "get next book by" list.
Lavie Tidhar - Cloud Permutations - Lavie is very much part of the World SF crowd, being Israeli born but well travelled (currently somewhere around Vanatua I believe), so brings an interesting approach to the SF genre. I've not read that much by him but this novella was entertaining enough.
Philip K Dick - Eye In The Sky - an early one from 1957, and the beginnings of the themes of what is reality and identity that would come to dominate his work.
Joe R Lansdale - Mad Dog Summer and Other Stories - nothing like a bit of Lansdale. He has an accessible style that makes it seem like writing is effrotless and comes naturally to him, which I reckon for the most part it does. If you don't know the name he wrote the original story of Bubba Ho-Tep.
Now on Threshold Shift, another collection of short stories from Eric Brown, one of my favourite SF authors, there's very little I've read by him which I haven't liked.
