Re Gardner Dozois'
The Years Best Science Fiction, I have a stack of 5 of them right now that I am reading in desultory fashion, oldest first. I don't have any preference among them. And there are stories that I start and then abandon in favor of the next one in the book. The greatest value of these volumes is that the contents are usually some of the best for a particular year and I get to read stuff by favorite authors and discover new ones. I can be reading novels and history books and then pick one of these up for a couple of stories to sort of "cleanse my palate". Also the editor includes an informative review of what has gone on in SF for the year in question, including film, tv, etc. as well as published works.
Check 'em out.
