Ooo, a book pack (or wolf pack) is always a wonderful thing. They look like some very interesting stories as well.

I have only read one short story by Mr. Wolfe, but I'd love to read more by one of the masters of the genre!

Haha, The Wolfe Pack! I love it!

I will confess, though, I am bit disappointed the new book is not, as I at first thought, called "Home Fries". I would read a Wolfe SF novel about potato foods. 

And I'd love to read this one!

When I saw Gene Wolfe at MadCon, it was great to see how much he and his wife love each other. I think she's his biggest fan.

Assuming that my comment is OOB (out of bounds) timewise, am I entitled to a consolation pack by Chromosome Coyote?
