That sounds like a good idea. I'm a fan of science fiction books AND movies. As well as certain TV shows. I'll start a thread on favorite sci-fi books if you'd like.I am not seeing it here, any one object?
I'm a HUGE fan of the writings of Harlan Ellison. I had the great fortune of meeting Harlan a couple times in the Phoenix, Arizona area. He did "lectures" each of these times, and chatted and signed items afterwards. I believe he signed 7 or 8 items for me, in total, the two times I saw him. He was a fantastic speaker. He was intelligent, witty, clever, angry, and above all else, EXTREMELY funny. Both of these lectures and signing events were free to the public. I also met Ray Bradbury a couple times at lectures/signings. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.Robert Heinlein or Philip K. Dick. Harlan Ellison. I have no mouth and I must Scream? Do androids dream of electric sheep? Stranger in a strange land?
I'm good with it, I like classic sci fi and old fiction, especially the heyday of the 50s and 60s. A lot of that stuff is actually coming true.I am not seeing it here, any one object?
URSULA LE GUIN. The left hand of darkness...I loved that book.

I met Dan Simmons in Scottsdale, Arizona, at a lecture/signing event some years ago. He was interesting to listen to. He told us how he became interested in wanting to be a writer. He signed about five items for me afterwards. He was a very pleasant and soft-spoken man. I prefer his horror fiction to his science fiction. My favorite books by him are Carrion Comfort and Children of the Night, both horror novels. These are essential reading for any fan of horror fiction, IMO.Dan Simmons, Vernor Vinge, Neil Stephenson, Lois McMaster Bujold, Orson Scott Card, William Gibson, John Varley, James Tiptree Junior, .....
I'm good.
And Horror....outside of the political horror that goes on.I am not seeing it here, any one object?

Have you ever read her novella "the word for the world is forest"?URSULA LE GUIN. The left hand of darkness...I loved that book.
One of my all time favorite SF books. She is a brilliant writer. I would add Robert Heinlein Time Enough for Love and Arthur C Clarke Rendevous with Rama.
