Naughty naughty time-like curves

Clarke, Reynolds, MacLeod, Baxter, Morgan, Brunner, Greenland and Banks - British hard SF/Space Opera authors that occupy a fair amount of my shelf space and therefore my reading time. This isn't a complete list either - there are more, but it is quite a significant list. When a list gets to this size, I do wonder if I should take care to not let it dominate. By that I just mean that I might take a little more time before deciding to add to it. The illustration of this being my attitude to Charles Stross. I had read a few of his short stories and he seemed to be trying to exist in roughly the same place as Alastair Reynolds and Ken MacLeod. Interesting but not enough to drive me out an buy from the amazingly fast building list of his novels on the shelves. But I saw a good copy of Singularity Sky on the secondhand shelves, so though I would invest the time to give it a shot and see if Stross was worth adding to the list.
