It's always hard for me to comment in threads like this - because I have reread so many, many stories over the years that I can't even remember them all. So to make a list of favorites is impossible for me. And I really don't want to leave anyone out. But I will respond to one comment here.
but not re-readable , eh - so garbage, really.
What are you talking about, Carol? Not re-readable. Do you really want me to admit how many times I've reread your Recognition series over the years? People might start to think I don't have a life.
