cyranoI have a habit of keeping the "Year's best fantasy and horror" anthologies in the loo, short stories being a good complement for random short spells of enforced incativity. And I've started taking notes as to where I can find smaller, pocket sized paperback printings of some of these so that I can buy them and then promptly loan them out. Like Gary Kilworth's "Memories of the Flying Ball Bike Shop" which went exactly where I had hoped it would go, and AS Byatt's "Story of the Eldest Princess" which starts out as a very traditional fairy tale but then goes on a bend because the heroine reads too much.
I suspect this was something resembling the intentions of the editors. (:
