Wow....Elizabeth Bear is totally ageless! But....I'm an idiot....Frank Wu is a "fan" artist? huh...... He's certainly very good, give him that.

Grey Lemur: I believe that the word you are looking for to describe Bear is not "ageless", but "hawt".
Also, a damn, damn good writer.

Ted Chiang is awesome, the guy can do no wrong.

Ted Chiang's was well worth it but, even though The Graveyard Book is good, I think best novel should have gone to Cory Doctorow. Little Brother is actual, upbeat, packed, interesting, flowing and completely freaking awesome.
And Anathem was better too.
