Location: UK		I finished my second collection: Manhattan in Reverse by Peter F Hamilton. Hamilton seems to have a capacity to infuriate me with idiot opinions while also writing enjoyable action SF that reminds me strongly of Robert A Heinlein, although their politics don't seem to have a lot in common. I think my favourite story was the first of the two novellas featuring Paula Myo from his Commonwealth universe, The Demon Trap. This is another long novella, which seems somewhat against the spirit of a short story challenge. I think it's partly down to the collections with novellas in them having fewer total stories, which is partly why I have finished them so soon. (I still have loads of stories to go in the novella-free Gwyneth Jones collection, Grazing the Long Acre.)

I don't know how the Commonwealth stories here relate to the novels, since I haven't read any of those, yet.
