    I notice that all but one of these choices involve trips explicitly to
    America.

    I'm always fascinated to see foreigner's perspectives on places with
    which I'm familiar.

    I am SO glad I read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" first, as I certainly
    wouldn't have bothered after reading any of the other amazingly grim
    stories in the same continuity.

    Oops, this was meant to be in response to James's review of
    Blackout/All Clear. Won't bother trying to cancel the post since it's
    never worked.
