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)

Ancillary Justice is on a roll winning the Clarke and BSFA. Ann Leckie does it again

Location: Cheshire, England		Well done Ann. Though I do feel a little sorry for her - that second book has a lot to live up to.

Location: UK		I must admit, I thought it wouldn't take the Clarke. I enjoyed it, but "feels" like a Hugo book, to me. The Clarke is often a bit more literary. I'm pleased, though. I think it has a good shot at the Nebula this weekend too.

It's not on the Locus recommended list for best novel (although it is for First Novel). I don't know if that makes it ineligible for the Locus SF award.
