Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Location: UK		A fairly surprising list, to me, bar Ancillary Justice and The Adjacent.

I hadn't realised God's War was eligible, or that Evening's Empires would have had a big enough constituency given that it's a late book in a sequence that hasn't had a big pull before. And I know nothing at all about Ack-Ack Macaque.

If God's War wins it'll no longer be eligible for the Second Best challenge.

Neither will Ancillary Justice. I'm putting off reading anything new until the awards are announced so I don't have to switch around.
