_Pushing Ice_, Alastair Reynolds
_100 bullets: first shot, last call_, Brian Azzarello


I didn't especially like Reynolds first books, but _Pushing Ice_ is a real winner. Relatively hard SF reminiscent of _Tau Zero_, _Learning the World_, and _Heart of the Comet_.

I picked up the first volume of 100 Bullets based on jducoeur's recommendation; this is a weird case where I don't like the individual stories much but I'm interested in seeing where it's all going. Briefly, it's noir crime anthology with a repeating setup: a man comes up to the current protagonist and offers a briefcase containing a gun and one hundred bullets; there is something linked to this that prevents arrest and prosecution, no matter what you do with them.

Big. Expensive. Educational. If I can figure out where we'd put one, I'd buy one.
