Also bought That "People who bought this also bought...." thing on Amazon and several others is phony. :p A friend who has about 8 books on Amazon has that after every one, and they were there when the books were first put on and nobody had bought them. ;) One book has only been on for about...

It's not really a shost, but a friend of my sister's has a poltergeist that plays all kinds of tricks. It's really more fun than scary, and isn't mean or anything. She was talking to him in the living room when there was a knock on the door to the utility room. She went and opened it, and there...

SF - Isaac Asimov Mystery - Ngaio Marsh So I'm old-fashioned.

I go to the publisher direct. You usually can get the same book for about half what you pay on Amazon or B and N, and you can see all the ones that aren't on Amazon etc. I found the ones I like better than most of the stuff (actually my sister did) because she knows an author who uses Lulu...

I really liked Brave New World. Read 1984 just before, and it was good, too. I just finished Changes by CD Moulton. I read it on the plane back from Paris. I don't usually like fantasy, but this wasn't the elfs and swords and sorcery bit. It was like a biography, sort of. Kene is just like my...

Intelligent and some fun I've read fourteen of the Flight of the Maita books now, and, while some are just entertainment, others are kind of deep. Some are really funny. I read Odd Couple Out, and it was very funny, but it's better if you read some others first. Return to Earth is sort of...

Been away I've been in Paris for awhile, and didn't have a comp to keep up with things - nor the time. I'm going back next week, so will probably not be around much. I did get the rest of the Nick Storie books before I left, and spend what little time I have reading them. (Not to mention...

Zeenans There are a race of catlike people in the Flight of the Maita series. They are in several of the books, and are mentioned in most of them that I've read (24!). I think it was book 3, Pirates, where they first came in, and they were in the next 8 or nine books. One, named Tom (which Z...

The Flight of the Maita series by C. D. Moulton if you like all different kinds of thinsg with SF and fantasy and some really funny ones. Now You See It/Now You Don't is all three. The only problem is finding them.

I think there should be another category: Based on true account You could have fiction - based on fact - non-fiction That would make it logical to say fiction, faction, fact. We could drop the non-fiction, and simply call it fact. I read lots of things that are embellished true stories. I have...

If you like science fiction and fantasy (and a little mixed), try the Flight of the Maita series. There are like 40 books in it, and all I read are different, and that's sort of different from most series. Some are really funny. I already read like nine of them. I'm Rhonda. Rexies my sister...

OK. You're Mr. Nitpicky - but right! I do that all the time Phil-T - Sax Rohmer wrote, like, 31 Fu Manchu books, didn't he? The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is really good. It's about a colony on the moon that Earth was going to cut off funding to or something such. It's the story where...

You can get in legal troubles with a pseudonym that can be easily gotten around. Register the name as an alias. We did that when I worked with some musicians (I was Bhunny Rhabbet. Guess you can tell it was a punk band) and wrote a murder mystery with a male alias, Flint Hardy. The name didn't...

Foundation and Empire - Asimov The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Heinland Heku - Moulton Any Sax Rohmer

There is a very good SciFi magazine on the web. It's better than any of the others I've tried. It's called Surprising Stories. http://surprisingstories.dcwi.com

If you want new authors instead of just older ones you never read I think C. D. Moulton is really good for the kinds of things like Asimov wrote, plus there's a lot of humor in the ones after the third or fourth one. I've got through book 7 and just ordered book 8-9. I got most of them e-books...

My sister got a book from Lulu called Bon Appetite! by C. D. Moulton that was very good. It's the first book in a series. Have any of you read Sax Rohmer? The Fu Manchu books? I think they're great! I got into that and John Dickson Carr from a boxful of those old books my mother had in the...

Hi. I just finished college and am a lab assistant in a medical facility. I want to write mystery/romance novels. My sister does, and she's very good. We've competed all out lives, but it's a good competition. We're very close. Anyhow, here I am. I won't have much time for awhile, but I've...
