Hi everyone! And a Happy New Year as well!
ity's time for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread.
I do this to gauge what Freepers (who by the way, are a very well-read group) are reading right now. It can be anything...a best seller, a technical journal, an old classic, even a trashy pulp novel.
Please do not defile this thread by replying "I'm Reading This Thread". It became very unfunny a long time ago. Serious replies only, please.
I'll start. I'm about 5 pages into "One Day In September" by Simon Reeve. It's about the disaster involving the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics and about how Israel hunted down the perpetrators of the massacre. It looks to be quite good but then again, I'm only a few pages into it.
Well, what are you reading right now?!

“The Year’s Best Science Fiction”, 25th Edition (Edited by Gardner Dozois). I get the latest copy (it’s published in February or March) for Christnams each year. It always contains a lot of great SF short stories - it’s a real door stop, too.
