I'd think about the Kafkaesque anthology if I saw it in a used book store. I'd have to read more of Jack McDevitt's Alex Benedict novels assuming I'd want to catch up to Firebird (a lot of them, as I've never read anything since A Talent for War, though it's good). And, if I didn't already have the contents, I'd want Poul Anderson's Captain Flandry. But, as is, another month goes by where I see a flood of every media tie imaginable, an avalanche of fantasies, and nothing I want.
(Actually, there's an exception to that - I'm not a big fantasy guy but I may actually want to give Daryl Gregory's Raising Stony Mayhall a try (yes, me, thinking about reading the year's trillionth zombie novel) mainly because of the brilliant idea of anti-horror, as well as discussion and excerpts and, that being the case, I might well want to try Unpossible and Other Stories. Anybody know if this is actually good?)
How about you? What looks good to you?
