How many have you read?

I have read Chabon's book and enjoyed it, I did see "Stardust" and "Blink" and I read Sclzi's blog. I will now try to read the short fiction winners since I should have at least 2 of them around the house anyway.

I think that the fact that none of the characters are regulars means anything can and will happen and this really adds to the story.
