[bluzman61]

Thanks, everyone, for your input on this thread. I've learned of many titles I was previously unaware of.

More fantasy than sci-fi but an excellent read by Roger Zelazny.

The young people I've suggested them to agree.

You've seen the movie, now read the book, it's different.

He rewrote the book in 1980.

I haven't read that version and am recommending the 1972 version.

This would include either novels or short fiction collections. My favorites include - The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man, by Ray Bradbury, The Sirens of Titan, by Kurt Vonnegut, Deathbird Stories, by Harlan Ellison, and Strange Wine, by Harlan Ellison.

Stranger in a Strange Land.

Do you know Stranger in a Strange Land was banned from school reading lists based on its controversial themes. The description of The Church of All Worlds' communal living situation and belief in free love were deemed inappropriate. ... The novel remained banned in Texas schools until 2003.

And now schools ban things like Gone With The Wind, Huckleberry Finn, and the like. I'll even bet Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs are on the hit list for progressive banning due to content.

Why point fingers on this thread? Do you really believe progressives and not conservatives seek to censor books and films?

Don't act coy. You are the one who started posting about the banning of books. I merely pointed out that it continues even today by other groups of people. If you don't like the comparison then perhaps you should look into that mote as you build your bonfire because it makes you no better than those you accuse.

Most likely will be banned by progressives soon due to content.

Texas is known to be conservative. Which is where this conversation began.

Your point about partisan is?
