- Bookgasm has the goods on a forthcoming anthology from Tor, Elemental, to benefit tsunami relief.
- Rebecca Skloot links to three short pieces she did for the NYT Magazine and goes into more depth on why studying yawning is important.
- Ed’s best of list — this is a good one. He also has an excellent RIP for Robert Sheckley.
- Jonathan Strahan posts his best short fiction list of the year. So much good stuff — in fact, one of the only stories I was surprised not to see on there was Carol Emshwiller’s "I Live With You But You Don’t Know It," which was one of my favorite stories this year.
- John Scalzi turns the 15 things about books meme to 15 things about him and writing. (I’d do this, but I think my books/reading list was mixed up enough with writing anyway … Plus, it took too long to come up with 15.)
