Now that I have the full set, I plan on eventually posting a chronological & themed list organizing them. (Probably not in the next month; I have other writing projects to finish first, and I have to read them before sorting.) I'm planning on making a batch PDF of all of them, sorted by author, on the theory that most authors will write a batch of short stories about the same topic/characters.
(And this is where ebooks fail to be as nifty as pbooks; I could mark up the TOC of an anthology--if it weren't already in groups--or, if they were individually printed volumes--a stack of pamphlets, perhaps--could just stack them in order. I may wind up printing out the first page of each so I can do that.)

So far I'm planning on:
27 F&SF Magazines (all the issues I didn't already have — about $1.35 an issue!)

Hmm, I have none of those. Maybe I should try them.
Last week, I picked up all 11 of the Sime~Gen novels; I want to write up a recommended reading order (which is not the order they're tagged as), and rant about the horrific covers the new publisher chose. (Whydahell are they using bland drama-ish romance-ish covers for tentacled vampire soulbonding post-apocalypse sf novels?)
