I returned to reading science fiction with a vengeance this month, happily teleporting through the pages of the first issue of my Analog Science Fiction & Fact subscription (though thanks to the messed up temporal mechanics of magazine publishing, I'm reading the May issue in March).

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, May 2005
