Story Reviews:

1989/88 Short Story/Novelette: "Schrödinger's Kitten" by George Alec Effinger: I wasn't much taken with this. The story is about quantum mechanics as you might guess form the title, but not about cats.

1991/90 Novella: "The Hemingway Hoax" by Joe Haldeman: I really didn't like this. One, I've never read anything by Hemingway nor do I want to, so I wasn't that interested in the story to began with ; two bits of this where way too gory for me; and three the ending made no sense, it didn't answer the questions raised in the rest of the story and it was confusing.

1996/95 Novelette: "The Martian Child" by David Gerrold: I thought this story was very sweet, but surprisingly un-SFinal.

Milestones:

This month I finished off the 1990's, and all the stories written by Joe Haldeman. I also got my first inter-library loan: the Nebula Award Anthology that contains "The Martian Child". My library only had the longer novelized version.

In related news this years Nebula Award Nominees have been announced I haven't read any of them, except A Conspiracy of Kings. Though I have just started The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and several of the other books are on my to-read list.
