Yes - I was stalking your books again ;-) and I was sooooo happy to actually catch the one I was after. I quite like Connie Willis and haven't read this one yet. Thank you, ZaraGaia!

I have been hoarding this book for quite a while. I completly enjoy Connie Willis! I have read the stories in bits and bites and read the last one a while back, but forgot to journal. The spin that Connie Willis puts on dystopian fiction is fascinating......if you read only one story in this collection let it be "The Last of the Winnebagos".
Since I have found a copy of this at a used book shop for my PC, I am going to take this to find a new reader, finally.......

Grabbed at get together

Journal Entry 9 by Eri-Cherry at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Saturday, October 12, 2013
This was a truly delightful read. Although not all the stories were my cup of tea, I enjoyed most of them and a number of them had me laughing out loud. Ado was probably my favoirte - I was reading it while watching a rather disappointing hockey game with my father. He eventually had to ask me what I was reading since it kept making me laugh outloud. I truly hope to never see a society like that one there. A recurring theme the author seems to be fond of in these stories was ridiculous (usually secondary/minor) characters with no common sense.

Also, my favorite line is from one of the intros by the author: "... you're only dead until the sequel."

Thanks for the fun read!

Journal Entry 12 by sing-song at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Wednesday, September 30, 2015
OK - this took me a long time to get to (something about me and short story books) and once again I quite enjoyed it! From Winnebagos through to quantum theory - and lots of interesting bits in between including the problems of how to teach Shakespeare when there is rampant restraining orders.

Picked up at the Calgary meet up. We had 12 BookCrossers (including one newbie, awesome!). I once again came home with way too many books including this one... Adding to my very large to be read pile.

This book had my name on it in our Travelling book box, again, I don’t remember putting my name on the list but someone must have sold me on this book. Hmm...eleven short SF stories?! I’m in!

😂😂😂😂I’ve had this book in my hands before and I probably didn’t read it. This is a sign from Karma that I really need to read this.
