I'll be reading more short stories for a while, but things may (finally!) be approaching "manageable."

Many of the short stories I wound up reading were from James H. Schmitz, including his short novel Legacy, in Baen's Trigger & Friends collection. I started off feeling a bit disappointed in the way the story was headed, but it was nicely wrapped up in the end. I wound up liking it better than I expected.
And I've just started reading the first volume of Baen's collection of Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories -- The Van Rijn Method. Some of these stories are new to me, but others are old friends from back when I first discovered SF magazines on the rack in the local drug store. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.
