Reading Into the Past: Week of 8/20

This week the number is 11, and here are the books I read last week, back in 1995. (I'm running a week behind due to Worldcon.)

• Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling, editors, Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears (8/13)
  I can't distinguish between these anthologies a decade later, but they were all pretty good. It's a bunch of retold fairy tales by mostly the same people each time, so, if you like any of 'em, you'll like this one.
• Jason Lutes, Jar of Fools, Book Two (8/13)
  Second half of a comics story about a stage magician; I don't actually remember it very well, but I enjoyed it at the time.
• Lois McMaster Bujold, The Vor Game (8/14)
  I was catching up on Bujold then, and I hit this Hugo-winning novel. It's the least impressive of her Hugo-winners, but it's a solid space opera and quite readable.
• Lois McMaster Bujold, Borders of Infinity (8/16)
  This is the story collection, if I remember right, which means it's some of Bujold's best stuff.
• The Best of S.J. Perelman (8/17)
  It is, and you should read it. Perelman isn't a laugh-out-loud funny kind of writer, but he's witty and fun and can tangle up the English language like no one before or since.
• Gregory Benford, editor, Far Futures (8/20)
  A collection of novellas -- as I recall, several of them turned into novels later. This is a good book that I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention publicly; well, now I have.

And here we are on Tuesday of the next week -- though I do have Worldcon to blame for it this time. My aim is to get this week's Reading Into the Past done before Friday, but we all know about me and intentions...
