_As She Climbed Across the Table_ by Jonathan Lethem is an unusual twist on the standard love story. A faculty member finds himself competing with an unusual rival for the affections of his physicist girlfriend - she's in love with a void. The void was created by the physicists in the university and will swallow objects that are slid into it. However, it will only take particular objects and rejects others. This is a fun and entertaining read; highly recommended semi-speculative fiction.
