Interesting. I have only read a few of her short stories, but I have her biography on my TBR. I hope I'll get to it soon, but I'm not really in the mood for non-fiction at the moment. In fact, I haven't been all year - sigh. I have so many interesting looking non-fiction books on my TBR, but I just can't seem to get into them.

I read Sheldon/Tiptree years ago and liked her. Those stories had a hard edge-- there was something dangerous underneath. Not physical violence. When I read of her and her husband's deaths in McLean, VA (I lived in the DC area at the time), I was troubled out of proportion. (He was very ill; she shot him and then herself.)
