And for ANOTHER some reason, I seem to have even less patience for women scifi writers - go figure! Are they not rigorous enough for me, the reader whose tastes were forged by the Dean and by the "speculative fiction" classics of the Golden Age of Science Fiction? I've always liked Asimov's (I'm pretty sure it was Asimov's) approach of extrapolating from the present by changing ONE major thing, then exploring its ramifications. So many new worlds are just TOO new for me...Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623031374944444521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872252.post-34784007908452197502009-07-22T06:35:39.414-04:002009-07-22T06:35:39.414-04:00Big Heinlein fan here, and a deist to boot.

I read all of Weber's Honorverse (loosely patterned on Horatio Hornblower); Flint's alternate universe (1632); everything Ringo writes and Stirling's Emberverse avidly. <br /><br />One of my distinct pleasures is the fact that I can afford to order a hardback book each week to feed my habit.<br /><br />word verification: tushes (really?)Gahriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795449308207016641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872252.post-87364429234339706332009-07-21T23:22:45.956-04:002009-07-21T23:22:45.956-04:00Oh, come now.
