Most pumpkin patches "pre-pick" the pumpkin anyway (they cut away and remove all the leaves, vines, and foliage leaving bare pumpkins hanging out in a field). If you go buy one in a store, no one will be the wiser.

It's hard to decide which are "favorites" because the whole damn book is outstanding. As you may have guessed, I am rather partial to the Jessica Mace stories but I thought that adding LD50 and Termination Dust may have been too on the nose?

I'm pretty sure that "Hallucigenia" broke a lot of brains.

I had to do the same. I wasn't ready for his writing the first time I read The Imago Sequence. The second time, everything just gelled perfectly.
