I'm glad that you were able to join me in reveling in the love of science fiction. <br /><br />I am hard pressed to say just where those two months went. I had a feeling that January was going by at a leisurely pace but I was deceived. And then February just disappeared in the blink of an eye!Carl V.

I wasn't reading Asimov at 13, I don't think I really discovered sci fi until I was about 15. Used to read all the Gollanz authors like Damon Knight... gleaned from the library of course, but there were never enough!<br /><br />Yep... I think money, power, politics, is what really counts in this world and that's bad thing, imo. Everything is fueled by greed when it comes right down to it. I sometimes wonder if the writers of Star Trek:TNG based the Ferengi on us. <br /><br />And yes! read Karen Traviss!

And I completely agree with what you say about Carl's challenge bringing us back to an early type of literature that I really enjoyed too - I read Asimov etc when I was 13. It's good to know Carl's challenge is reaching across so many places, and people, isn't it? <br /><br />I also think that sentiment is good to hear - I take a dim view of most of what we have achieved as humanity, since we can't seem to look beyond politics and money to see the person, and that life is what matters. Until that point, we really aren't achieving much of what we could as a species, I think.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-6214005811619207692011-03-01T00:13:55.786+00:002011-03-01T00:13:55.786+00:00Kailana: the same happened to me last year with th...Kailana: the same happened to me last year with the sci fi experience, I just didn't get around to reading more than one: it happens. I hope you get around to Karen Traviss though - she is so good.<br /><br />Pat: yeah, I'm quite pleased with myself. lol <br /><br />Yep, only 3 weeks to OUaT now. We think alike, I was only thinking today that 2 months of this year have already slipped by. Will have to start the Christmas shopping soon. hehehCathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-78238846469045885152011-02-28T21:19:21.509+00:002011-02-28T21:19:21.509+00:00Bravo sis!!

I love the way these books express how full of ourselves we are and how dangerous this is to other species, in the main because they're different and therefore of not much account. In real life this very much applies on this planet of course.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-3230671265735658332011-02-28T16:00:02.234+00:002011-02-28T16:00:02.234+00:00That alien's view of human nature seems painfu...That alien's view of human nature seems painfully accurate to me.
