I actually read almost every story! I only had to skip through three, one where the narrator's overly indulgent and nonsensical letter-writing became too much to bear (too bad, it seemed like the only story dealing with superheroes), the one by Scott Westerfield which was way too technical D&D for me to understand, and another that was about the lameitude of teenage Rocky Horror Picture Show fanatics (never saw the movie, sorry). Quite a few were sweet and romantic; there was humor, touches of literariness, and well-done retreads of familiar territory. 
 I did wonder how the lasting power of this book would be, though...what with the many pop culture references in the beginning half of the book. I understood most of them and liked it as a result, but 5, 10 years down the line, would they be so relevant?
