I'm interested in all comers. I like old and new. I'm more interested in a good story than anything else. About the only subgenre I'm not all that interested in is cyberpunk type stuff. I'll check out both those authors, thanks!

No worries. If I get one and don't like it, I'm not going to hunt you down. LOL Check out the individual copies of Asimov's, Analog or Science Fiction & Fantasy (or is it Fantasy & Science Fiction?). They're really good if you like short stories. You might not like all the stories in an issue, but for the most part they're all worth reading, and they generally are completely different styles of Sci-fi.

Awesome! I think I'll have to get the Asimov's.
