I'm a dabbler

indeed? well, there's much to recommend it (dabbling)...

You guys might like to move your postings to topic 14 - this topic was accidentally created by my presently-psychotic software, and is a carbon-copy of topic 14. I will ask terry to freeze this one, as soon as he turns up again.

Favorite authors, stacey? And then again, Mike, why not make this pseudo-multi-threaded?

(but WHY is it your favorite sci-fi book?)

Sorry, I ment to type "The Stainless Steel Rat" trilogy by Harry Harrison Slippery Jim Degriz to the rescue! Because he has a reality about him that coincides with the plot and concept of the trilogy and the reader is gradually exposed to this universal point of view as the reader gets deeper into it. Jim isn't a good guy or a bad guy, he's just a very talented thief! He tries to only steal from planetary government systems that are obviously corrupt. He usually ends up saving or helping a few truly interesting people on the way. better?

Off topic, but close: We review George Zebrowski's new novel "Cave of Stars," and we look at Brian Stableford's futuristic murder mystery "The Architects of Emortality." http://www.scifiweekly.com/issue128/books.html

I'd never read anything by Phil K. Dick again!

I went to http://www.scifiweekly.com/issue128/books.html and looked for the "we" who were discussing the books. Did not know anyone so I did not remain. Were any reviewed by Sprinizens?

Whatever happened to Doug Larue?
