reading (Asimov's March)
I stared this month's Asimov's on Friday evening and finished it sometimes around noon on Saturday. I can't help myself, I just devour short stories.
This issue had a lot of unfinishedness about it. It's not that the stories didn't have endings, but they were the kind of endings where one thing is resolved, a climax is reached, and the loose ends are left like a half finished plate of spaghetti. This is neither good nor bad, it's just how the stories work out. Funny to see so many of them in one issue.
Being how I am, I had no sympathy for the characters in Colin Davies' "Babel 3000", but I loved the ending. Deborah Coates' "Chainsaw on Hand" described the effect of mind on weather (and vice versa) very well.
Overall it was a solid issue, no dogs, and a fair variety.
