The Time Traveler's Almanac | 
so-soThe broad interpretation of “time travel” and the 1000 page size had this in progress on my nightstand for almost five years! I am finally through the whole thing (with just a handful of skipped stories) and I am especially grateful to the editors for one thing — introducing me to Kage Baker and her Company novels.
Thank you @Itchyfeetreader your package arrived. I haven't heard of any of the books I'll look forward to getting to know them 😆

Thank you @Chrissyreadit for letting me participate 👍
900+ pages of time travel stories from luminaries to new-to-me authors?? For $2.99 (today only-U.S.)? Yes, I will, Thanks!

Ursula K. Le Guin, the ever awesome, in her story called "Another Story or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea." So looking forward to the two collections she has coming out this fall.
so-soI think I'm not a fan of the single-topic anthology. This 943 page giant had about 10 classics I'd read and loved before, 2 or 3 great "finds" where I will follow up on the authors, and then about 600 pages of generic filler. Maybe there just aren't that many great time travel stories.
Crap. Now I can't stop seeing crappy similes everywhere.
"Their pillars and porticoes and cornicework swollen with self-importance like so many amorous street pigeons."
Damn you, Maestra!
I keep trying to finish this 900+ page monstrosity, but then I have to read sentences like, "The Hegemony shared their world with the Autonomous Directorate of Zan, a harshly abstemious land of puritanical library scientists ..." and then I remember why I hate science fiction.
Sometimes there's a story where a guy claims he's a time traveler, but our hero is having doubts. Is he or isn't he? In an anthology of time travel stories, you really lose all the tension and suspense. Inclusion in the anthology is itself a spoiler.
Reading a crappy Harry Turtledove time travel story from the 1990s where 21-year-old Justin from the 1990s meets 40-year-old future Justin from the 2010s. Besides being poorly written, future Justin reveals that the Rolling Stones are no longer touring, and he no longer remembers "South Park."
Shout out to the slow readers! I've been reading stories in this book for months now, but it's over 900 pages long, with small print and big pages. I'm still only a little over half done!
