Random quote: "Well, the telling of jokes is an art of its own, and it always rises from some emotional threat. The best jokes are dangerous, and dangerous because they are in some way truthful." - Kurt Vonnegut

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.
