Ok, a couple of one-line shots, from (ever-failing) memory. The best book I've read in a long while is Mary Gentle's (I *think* I've got her last name right) "Golden Witchbreed." Obviously science fiction, but it has a bit of a fantasy taste. Any one else out there read it? The new Tiptree novel "Brightness Falls from the Air" (or something like that) is pretty good. Not great, but worth buying/reading. Gibson's "Neuromancer" (which got a nebula - undeservedly, if you ask me. Then again, "Press [Enter]" also got one, so...) is ditto. Other than that, you're right - everybody seems to be doing fantasy. Could someone make some suggestions for me? Thanx, <mike
