The only Steven Brust book I haven't read is _The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars_, as it is the only one I never bought in mmpb or hc or borrowed >from a library. Due to my intense dislike of large-size paperbacks. (Look! All the discomfort of a hardcover with none of the durability! And the flimsiness of a paperback with none of the convenience! Rapture!) I will undoubtedly break down at some point and buy it. As for the short stories, I've only read "A Dream of Passion" and one of the _Liavek_ stories. -Dennis
