    I love "Among Others". I have read it three times now. "Firebird" was
    very good also.

    I have read most of his work, including this.

    The Man Who Bridged the Mist by Kij Johnson

    I read a bunch of Johnson at one point, but I think this was in an
    anthology.

    Kiss Me Twice by Mary Robinette Kowal

    I have downloaded it from her site and in the process of reading it.

    Silently and Very Fast by Catherynne M. Valente

    I have enjoyed several of her works, so I will make an effort to get
    this.

    With Unclean Hands by Adam-Troy Castro

    I have read some of his "Andrea Cort" works, but I don't recall this
    one. I will look for it.

    Just the Johnson, the Valente, and the Gilman.
