I just recently read The Postman. Reluctantly, I might add, because of the Kevin Costner Movie stigma. That aside, it was a fantastic and plausible post-apocalyptic view. Good stuff.

I'd forgotten about that one. Classic Heinlein twist, I think they'd really just intended to drown him, right?

Book stores too.

I'm with funes on this one. Lending is a risky proposition even when it is paired with returning. Return in the same condition is a nearly never in my experience.

War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells

I've been re-reading a lot of Heinlein lately. I wonder if anyone else has a favorite character from one of his books.

In this thread in the teen forum Dawn and I were talking about the Anne McCaffrey Dragonrider books Dawn wrote: I replied: I'd like to know what our SF/Fantasy readers think of these unique books.

Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon (Dragonflight was first published as a short story in the late 60's or early 70's I think but they are still readily available thanks to recent reprints.) Others in the series that I enjoyed were: Moreta Dragonsdawn All the Weyrs of Pern...

The original three of the Pern series are wonderful with great characters in a great storyline. The next two or three are pretty good too. After awhile, though, they kind of flatten out and you're sitting there thinking, "Man, am I ever going to get through this series?"

I've heard of it but never read it. Sounds like I need to put that one on my To Read list.

I think we're on Q

Terminator 2. Ahhnold on a Harley with Gargoyles in place. Shotgun, leather jacket, stuff blows up all over. Linda Hamilton kicks butt, exploding cop cars, more burning helicopters, a liquid metal blob/terminator that cuts, slashes, and blows up even more stuff. Pure testosterone overload

Manuel O'Kelley Davis, the Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. Took the bull by the horns and did what was right. He was a pretty normal Joe, too, which is always a plus. No super powers, no super intellect, just did what needed to be done. A close second is Corwin from Zelazny's Amber series. This...

And, sigh, Riker hadn't grown a beard...(fans self) Counselor Troy hadn't figured out she didn't have to wear the body suit, Worf was still that shy Klingon next door... Oh, you had to mention the mortgage, didn't you? I haven't seen it yet but it look like a rental from the beginning...

Always glad to see another Sci Fi fan. Glad you beamed in. Post away at the Sci Fi forum as much as you like. Start threads, review books, have fun--theres nothing quite like discussing Sci Fi with someone who can read Ulysses (its not me, for sure). Welcome and enjoy! P.S. There are...
