Three books sort of at once, which is a terrible idea and I do not suggest it, but I have reasons. Sort of.

That would be quite difficult, reading 3 books you are not enjoying. Took me 40 years to finally stop reading books I did not enjoy. Now, I read dozens at a time, reading what interests me at any given moment, though most are anthologies and when I do find a book I love I invest fully in it. Good luck to your reading life!

howdy Joe, welcome! Belly up to the bar!

welcome!

ok, that's exactly what I wanted to learn, thanks. I too thought this was going to be too highbrow, so was waiting for folks I know to have some feedback. cool.

sorry, I meant, what makes that book experimental S&S?

what makes that experimental, Clint?

I should read that. I'm told that's a strong S&S story.

I haven't read this issue yet, but thanks for the reviews. I don't think you gave too much away, yet you were informative.

thanks for the ask, Devrim, and the answer, Clint!

TPB will be available 3/26, hardcover in a few months.

Cool words you left in review, Clint, thank you. I appreciate you jumping into the full read so quickly. and while continuing with your NESS reads. I'm not certain directly comparing them is fair to either though, slightly different goals and productions. Stack NBNY against any anthology now, my others included, and let's see what happens :)

awesome, thank you!

Hooh-rah!

Joseph, NBNY is on Goodreads now, but seems to be in 3 versions? Two without covers and a 3rd with. I think that's the actual Kindle one which is in pre-order, and I've shelved that one.

Sweet to hear, Clint, glad that opening reads well for you.

awesome!

KS backers get theirs first, soon. I'm shooting for public availability electronic 1/26/24 and print early February.

NEITHER BEG NOR YIELD is a Beast, coming in at 180,000+ words! Not only is it the Greatest Anthology of S&S ever assembled, it's also the LARGEST, THICKEST, BIGGEST!

So it will arrive around the beginning of February, but RBE's final anthology will be available for the annual first of the year anthology read!

of course, at 180,000+ words it might be a challenge to finish reading in a month...
