Glacial Erratics

I've started doing my part to help the economy by doing my short story reading at Borders.    (0000IN)

If a collection has about twenty short stories and costs around seven dollars to take home but I sit down to read one and only one chapter with one double soy latte at $3.71 per sitting (including tax), after a few hundred years I should have fixed things up nicely.    (0000IO)

I reckon I shouldn't have to pay sales tax as I'm providing a charitable service.    (0000IP)

Current reading at Borders is The Martians by Kim Stanley Robinson. If you liked the Mars trilogy a great deal (I did) you'll probably like at least some of these stories. If you think Robinson is a windbag (some do, with good reason) pass on this one.    (0000IQ)
