FWIW, I just read the first story in
I, Robot (the one about a little girl and Robbie, her robot nanny), and it was wonderful. Just the kind of upbeat charmer that's perfect for the holidays.
And I just downloaded the late, great Patricia's
prc upload of Ethan Frome from MobileRead's Patricia Clark Memorial Library. From the comments at Goodreads Jon quoted, I'd say we're in for a holiday season fit for the Addams Family, sans the humor.
