Brave New Worlds

Last night I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning finishing up Pillars of the Earth and it was incredible, as I anticipated. I just ordered the sequel World Without End on amazon, because I have no self control. But I can't wait until it gets here.
In the meantime I'm picking up the anthology Brave New Worlds which is a collection of short stories of the dystopian variety, as you may be able to guess from the title. It has stories by Ray Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Philip K. Dick, NEIL GAIMAN, Ursula Le Guin, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and that's only the ones listed on the front cover! Needless to say, I'm expecting great things from this book.
Well I'm off to immerse myself in depressing and deadly futures in store for man kind, because I know this week is the last time I'll have all of this free time to read because soon my classes will be picking up and life will again be consumed with work, but I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.
