I felt that things need to get back to normal, Errrrr, gasp... choke!!!! very sorry, i forgot this is the Solar! Well any way since one of the topics has been fantasy books i thought i'd ask if some one, besides me that is, have read any of the Andre Norton books like the Witch World series. {even if they are quit old and out of date for todays youth} Or the Fritz Leiber series of Fafard and the gray Mouser and one of my favorite authors Robert Heinlein?

Duncan, now yer talkin' Brought up on em'. I even used to have a mini-mag named after the Grey Mouser, in Welsh ! Please don't ask me to dig the title out. Although I have pruned my S.f. titles to the bone, I still retain 90% of my fantasy titles. Treece, Lord Dunsany, E.R. Edison, K. C. Flint, L. Alexander, Lin Carter, H. Munn .. and many many more. It is a pity that some of the classic books are no longer read. We seem to have had a diet of rehashed 'Lord of the Rings' for years now. I can't recall the last one I bought. Perhaps I should, and see how genre is making out. |

I also enjoy Robert Heinlein - and Isaac Asimov. Both I read and re-read. I'm currently ploughing my way through the "Foundation" series - AGAIN - in chronological order. Great Fun ! |

Heinlein seems to be good at spinning a web on the Sword and Sorcery side as in 'GLory Road'. Old but still a good read. I read some of Isaac Asimov as well and also enjoyed the few books of Lin Carter i had. I wish i had the time to reread them all. The Mouser, he remains one of my favorite characters. |

Yep, Heinlein was the one I read the most but also Brian Aldiss, Philip K. Dick and of course the Cities in Flight serie by James Blish! |

I also have the problem of forgetting everything and having no time to reread it all... But i did just finish the lord of the rings for the 4th time, and i read the silmarillion, now im going to read a book from a dutch author (very old) and im reading some good ol' pockets, no masterpieces but they're not so tough ------------------ -Matt- The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. |

Nope, not at all, still check it at least once in two days, but since there is no cable here, surfing is expensive, and so I can't really search for tough questions, and there was nothing really interesting going on here . And of course, long time no castles ------------------ -Matt- The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. |
