@kimlockhartga You’ve intrigued me with this one (I just got from Libby), as you have with many books. Again, I’ll mention I’m terrible with short stories (why-I don’t know), but I do like the idea that they are linked. I read two short stories from Ted Chiang’s Exhalation, per your rec a while back. I liked them, but then I didn’t go back and finish the book. Is it because I finish one short story and don’t feel like I’m tied to the book?
