Either I'm becoming harder to please, or else the new stuff out there is getting worse. Remember, I actually read every single Hugo nominee for the past 2 yrs, knowing that they were supposed to be the best of the year.
So if I'm reading some of the very best new books, why were my favorites of 2009 actually re-reads of very old books, Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep" and "A Deepness in the Sky," and "Nova" by Samuel R. Delany?
