Location: Gunnison, Colorado		Only a week into the year, and it looks like this challenge is on track to attract a somewhat more interest than last year. 15 participants so far, and a few books already completed. Based on the picks already chosen, it looks like the authors picked so far are:

Stephen King (two participants)
Ursula K. Le Guin
Alastair Reynolds
William Gibson
C. J. Cherryh (two participants)
George R. R. Martin (two participants)
Larry Niven
H. P. Lovecraft
Elizabeth Bear
Leigh Brackett
Guy Gavriel Kay
Daniel Abraham
Connie Willis
Peter S. Beagle
S. M. Stirling
Michael Moorcock (two participants)
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Robert J. Sawyer
John Brunner
Jack Vance

I hope everyone enjoys the challenge! Personally, I'm glad to see that people are still interested in checking out some of my "old school" favorites like Brunner, Brackett, and Moorcock. Gibson and Cherryh are two of my all-time favorites, and I've already read just about everything they've written. (Sable Aradia's picks are a really nice overview of Cherryh's prolific output...) And twelve Stephen King novels in a year is quite a commitment. My picks are a lot shorter!

It would be great to hear what you all think of these writers as you make some progress. Onward...
