All the Myriad Ways

I was surprised to find that we had this volume of short stories by Larry Niven on our bookshelf; I believe zandperl had recommended either it or Larry Niven to me. About half the stories appealed to me. I really enjoy short science fiction stories because it's too easy for science fiction to be overly padded and a genius idea is usually lost. I just didn't care for Niven's style half of the time, and the most of the time I was wondering if the technological and scientific concepts he wrote about were still applicable. This was probably my first time reading hard science fiction as well.

Oh duh, I think I mixed up your fantasy tastes with those of ayashi. You read more YA and less epic, right? The "Uglies" series might be good, though it's light on the SF.

Yup, that's me! YA all the way, woah, yeah!! It's so intense.
