I am absolutely fascinated by the concept of Synesthesia. I can’t remember when i first came across the term, but you can’t help being curious about what it must be like to be a synesthete. MIT has perspectives from two real synesthetes – Carol and Karen – on their site, including audio clips from the women themselves trying to describe their "different" outlook on life. Fascinating stuff.

I digress :-)

The point of this post was to blog the 2003 Nebula Award winners (and to update my book wishlist accordingly – see right :-).

The "Best Novelette" – The Empire of Ice Cream – is fantastic, and even better -
it’s online at SciFi.com! It’s central character is a synesthete, which prompted my finding the links above – William makes you believe you could understand what he feels.
