Which 2003 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Bones of the Earth by Michael Swanwick
Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
Picoverse by Robert A. Metzger
Solitaire by Kelley Eskridge
The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin
All but the Gaiman and the Mieville. Funny I'd miss
those two authors in particular.
The Gaiman did not live up to expectations. I've read the Mieville twice, but it's not a comfort read. Liked the Swanwick and for some reason have no memory of the LeGuin, though I'm sure I've read it.
As usual, my hit rate with shorter fiction is embarrassingly low.
