I ended up not finishing it. I just didn't find myself enjoying the short stories.

I'm curious about the structure of this book. The first story is slow, very familiar, and comes across as weirdly anti-science. I nearly stopped reading and decided that this author wasn't for me, but I decided to try the next story. Every story after that one is fantastic. Except for the last one. This is a book of some of the best writing I've ever read bookended by some pretty rubbish stuff. I loved all but those two. Coincidentally, the two unrelated stories about a race of bird people happen to be my two favourites.

DID NOT FINISH: 32%

No characters to follow, so it's not for me.
