It is so great to have you in on the experience this year, Jim. Nice list of stuff you want to get to. I have Revelation Space on the shelf, as well as Galactic North, a short story collection by Reynolds. I really enjoyed his novel, Chasm City.
The Naked Sun is a book of Asimov's I haven't read, but want to.
I'm interested in The Windup Girl too but am leaning towards reading his latest YA novel, Ship Breaker, first.
Not sure if you saw my recent review for Greg Bear's book, Hull Zero Three? It was my first experience with Bear and it was such a good book.
