For plenty of Good Free Stuff to read, head on over to the Asimov's web site. All ten of their Hugo-nominated stories are available there for free. There's nothing there I wouldn't commend to your attention, but some my particular favorites are "Kin" by Bruce McAllister, "Impossible Dreams" by tim_pratt, and "A Billion Eves" by Robert Reed.
I'd mention "Inclination" and my fellow Huguloid paulmelko's "The Walls of the Universe" too, but I've done an awful lot of talking about them already.
