I finished In Joy Still Felt this afternoon, and with that completes another year (at least my 13th) reading all three volumes of Isaac Asimov’s in roughly the April time-frame. I started I. Asimov on March 26–the day I got back from Disney World–and completed the last volume today, a total of just under 1 million words in 41 days, or 24,000 words per day.

This afternoon, I’m starting on Barry Malzberg’s new book, Breakfast in the Ruins, which is actually, a hugely expanded version of his classic treatise on science fiction, The Engines of the Night.
