"The Fountain of Age", Nancy Kress
"Recovering Apollo 8", Kristine Kathryn Rusch
"Stars Seen Through Stone", Lucius Shepard
"All Seated on the Ground", Connie Willis
"Memorare", Gene Wolfe
Of this list, I've only read the Connie Willis novella. I thought "All Seated on the Ground" was entertaining but somewhat lightweight reading.
"The Cambist and Lord Iron: a Fairytale of Economics", Daniel Abraham
"The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate", Ted Chiang
"Dark Integers", Greg Egan
"Glory", Greg Egan
"Finisterra", David Moles
I've read four out of five of these novelettes. I reviewed one of them - "Finisterra" - back in December. I nominated the Daniel Abraham story and both the Greg Egan stories, so as you might guess, I liked them a lot. I haven't read the Chiang novelette yet.
"Last Contact", Stephen Baxter
"Tideline", Elizabeth Bear
"Who's Afraid of Wolf 359?", Ken MacLeod
"Distant Replay", Mike Resnick
"A Small Room in Koboldtown", Michael Swanwick
I've read the first three short stories, and I liked them enough to put them on my Hugo nominations ballot. I was surprised to see that three of my choices in this category made the final list.
You won't find reviews for these pieces of short fiction on this blog. Back in early January, I decided that if I wanted to read enough short fiction to nominate, I better not review stories. Writing these reviews is time consuming for me. In the future, when I'm not as crunched for time, I'll write some more reviews.
