Okay, this is what I picked up:
Georgia On My Mind by Charles Sheffield
A Song for Lya by George R.R. Martin
Barnacle Bill the Spacer by Lucius Shepard
Schrodinger's Kitten by George Alec Effinger
AEgypt (AEgypt Series Book 1) by John Crowley
Love & Sleep (AEgypt Series Book 2) by John Crowley
Sandkings by George R.R. Martin
Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
I'm not the biggest fan of George R.R. Martin's never-ending A Song of Ice and Fire, but he is a decent writer when he gets to the point, so I decided two of his shorter, stand-alone works would be okay. I've heard good things about the AEgypt, so I figure that's worth a try, and I think the Rohinston Mistry book was very well received when it was released. I picked the others because they were dual Hugo-Nebula winners.
I still have $0.77 left if anyone can suggest something.
